Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have won the Ligue 1 title for the third time in four seasons, after defeating Lyon 2-1 at the Parc des Princes on Sunday night.

The victory was PSG's fourth consecutive league title and came despite being outplayed by their rivals in many areas of the pitch. However, they were able to hold on to their lead with two late goals from Edinson Cavani and Neymar Jr., who scored his 40th goal of the season.

Lens, meanwhile, finished runners-up in the competition, having lost out to PSG in the final matchday. The team will be happy with their performance this season, as they finished just one point behind their rivals.

Despite the disappointment of losing out on the title, Lens' coach Jocelyn Gourvennec said that he is proud of his players for their efforts throughout the campaign.

"This is not the end of the story," he said. "We have to move forward and try to improve next season."

For PSG, the win marks their first major trophy since winning the Champions League last season. They now turn their attention to the Europa League, where they will face Eintracht Frankfurt in the semi-finals later this month.

Overall, it was another impressive season for PSG, who continue to dominate the Ligue 1 landscape. While they may have missed out on the title, there can be no doubt that they have achieved great success under their new manager Mauricio Pochettino.

As for Lens, they will undoubtedly look back on this campaign with pride, knowing that they have given their best and come close to achieving their goal. But they will also be looking ahead to next season with renewed determination, ready to challenge once again for the Ligue 1 title.
