Paris St Germain clinched a third successive Ligue 1 title, with a game to spare, and stayed on course for an unprecedented domestic treble with a 2-1 win at Montpellier yesterday.
The Qatari-owned club needed only a point to seal the title but ended the night eight points clear of their closest rivals Olympique Lyon who were held to a 1-1 home draw by Girondins Bordeaux.
The title kept Laurent Blanc‘s side on course for a sweep of domestic honours, with the Parisians already winners of the League Cup and facing AJ Auxerre in the French Cup final this month.
Monaco stayed third on 68 points, four adrift of Lyon, after beating Metz 2-0 while Marseille and St Etienne also won to stay tied on 66 in the battle for a place in next season’s Champions League preliminary round.
