Kylian Mbappé and his PSG teammates are crowned French Ligue 1 champions.
FOOTBALL – The coronation was delayed a little, but it is finally here. Kylian Mbappé and his Paris-Saint-Germain teammates were officially crowned champions of France after Lyon’s victory over Monaco this Sunday April 28 (3-2) in the 31st day of Ligue 1.
This is the third consecutive title for the Parisians and the 12th in the club’s history. PSG could have been crowned on Wednesday evening, if Monaco had lost against Lille. Then, on Saturday, the capital club came up against Le Havre, once again preventing Kylian Mbappé and his team from celebrating the victory. The defeat of the Rocher players against Olympique Lyonnais put an end to the (false) suspense.
However, Monaco opened the scoring in the first seconds of play. But OL came back and scored two goals in four minutes (22nd and 26th). Monaco got back on track in the 60th minute thanks to a double from Ben Yedder. But OL scored the winning goal in the 84th minute, consolidating PSG’s leadership position.
