PSG get over the line

Paris Saint-Germain confirmed their tenth Ligue 1 Uber Eats title after a 1-1 draw at home to Lens.

Lionel Messi fired the newly-crowned champions ahead in superb fashion (68') but Corentin Jean tapped home from close range (88'), to earn ten-man Lens a deserved point in their battle to qualify for Europe.

Gerson fires late winner

Marseille edged closer to Champions League qualification after a 1-0 win at Reims.

Gerson fired home the winner eight minutes from time to keep OM six points ahead of the chasing pack with four games remaining.

"It was a good victory in a difficult match against a Reims side with defensive solidity," said Marseille coach Jorge Sampaoli who now must prepare his side for Thursday's Europa Conference League semi-final clash with Feyenoord. "I think we deserved the victory and it's good for us to have maintained the gap between ourselves and the three teams below us because our final four games are very tough."

Five-star Rennes win derby

Rennes bounced back from their midweek defeat at Strasbourg to thrash Lorient 5-0 at Roazhon Park.

Goals from Benjamin Bourigeaud (17') and Martin Terrier (19') put Bruno Génésio's men two goals up at the break. Hamari Traoré (47'), Flavien Tait (79') and Gaëtan Laborde (90') finished off Lorient in the second half as Rennes hold on to third place due to their superior goal difference.

Monaco continues to fine form

Monaco swept aside relegation-threatened Saint-Étienne 4-1 at the Stade Geoffroy Guichard.

Wissam Ben Yedder notched his 20th goal of the season to break the deadlock (23') before Kevin Volland (25'), a Timothée Kolodziejczak own goal (61') and Myron Boadu (77') added to the tally.

Wahbi Kazri replied for the hosts from the penalty spot (42')

"I'm really happy to have won another title for the club, to have made history with the tenth title," PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino added. "It's really important for everyone and for the club. It's not easy when you have a massive disappointment in the Champions League but the players were really professional and fought to win the league. I think it's really important to add another title for the club. We're so happy and we need to give value to this success."
