April 05, (THEWILL) – Paris Saint-Germain clinched their fourth straight Ligue 1 championship on Saturday, following a 1-0 win against Angers at home, maintaining their unbeaten record in the league this season. The victory established an unassailable lead at the top of the French top flight table.
Despite overwhelming dominance reflected in 81.2% possession and 20 shots, PSG found it difficult to break down their opponents during the first half. Goncalo Ramos and Vitinha both had opportunities to put Luis Enrique’s side ahead but failed to convert their chances before the interval.
The breakthrough arrived in the 55th minute when Desire Doue volleyed home from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s cross, providing the only goal in a match that PSG controlled throughout. Goalkeeper Yahia Fofana prevented the champions from extending their advantage four minutes later when he stopped Fabian Ruiz’s volley.
Angers thought they might have had a penalty with 12 minutes remaining in the contest, but the on-field decision of no infringement was confirmed following a VAR review. The final scoreline did not fully represent the comfortable nature of PSG’s performance.
With the domestic title now confirmed, PSG can shift their attention to European competition as they prepare for their UEFA Champions League quarter-final clash against Aston Villa in midweek, where they will aim to translate their domestic form onto the continental stage.
