Goals from Neymar and Kylian Mbappé gave Paris SaInt-Germain a 2-1 win over arch-rivals Marseille at the Parc des Princes.
Neymar opened the scoring in style in the 12th minute before a blunder from Gianluigi Donnarumma gifted Duje Caleta-Car an equaliser on the half-hour. Kylian Mbappé notched his 21st goal of the season from the penalty spot to make sure of the points on the stroke of halftime.
PSG could wrap up the title on Wednesday if they win at Angers and Marseille fail to beat Nantes.
Marseille coach Jorge Sampaoli added: "We focussed on dominating possession because, from that, you can create opportunities. Playing differently would have been suicidal for us. We could have equalised in the second half but overall, my players played a smart match against PSG and we didn't deserve to lose.

"The most important thing was to get the three points," said PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino. The intensity wasn't what we hoped for but we are at the end of the season and there was some fatigue in my players. But overall I think that we deserved this victory."
