PSG claims third successive Ligue 1 title

A 2-1 win at Montpellier ensured Paris Saint-Germain became champion of France once again.

Paris Saint-Germain has claimed the Ligue 1 title for a third consecutive season following a 2-1 win at Montpellier.

Laurent Blanc's men knew a point would be good enough going into Saturday's clash at the Stade de la Mosson due to their 6-0 win over Guingamp and Lyon's 3-0 defeat at Caen last week.

And PSG duly delivered the goods with a professional performance that served as an illustration of the gap in quality between the capital club and the rest of the division.

First-half goals from Blaise Matuidi and Ezequiel Lavezzi put PSG in a commanding position that was never relinquished despite a howler from Salvatore Sirigu that allowed Anthony Mounier to halve the deficit in the 40th minute.
