Paris Saint-Germain F.C. have clinched the 2025/26 Ligue 1 title after defeating RC Lens 2-0, handing coach Luis Enrique a major advantage ahead of the UEFA Champions League final against Arsenal F.C..
The victory moved PSG to 76 points after 33 matches, nine clear of Lens, sealing the club’s fifth consecutive French league crown and their 12th title in the last 14 seasons.
Having wrapped up domestic duties, the French champions can now fully concentrate on preparations for the Champions League final scheduled for May 30 against Arsenal.
The development could pose an added challenge for Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, whose side are still battling through the closing stages of the Premier League season. The Gunners must remain focused on their remaining league fixtures against Burnley and Crystal Palace before turning full attention to Europe.
PSG’s lighter workload has also become a talking point ahead of the final. Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice has reportedly logged significantly more playing minutes this season than PSG midfielder Vitinha, highlighting the physical demands faced by English clubs compared to teams in France.
Enrique’s men are now widely viewed as favourites to retain the Champions League trophy, with the extra recovery and preparation time expected to provide a valuable edge before the showdown in Munich.
