PSG’s Relentless Pursuit Yields 13th Ligue 1 Crown
Paris Saint-Germain almost make it look routine at this point. One goal was enough to sink Angers at the Parc des Princes on April 5, 2025, and with it, seal their record-breaking 13th Ligue 1 crown. Désiré Doué found the net in a match that rarely felt in doubt, and PSG’s players barely had to break a sweat to add yet another trophy to their bursting cabinet. What really stands out this year? It’s not just the title count—this is their fourth in a row—it’s the sheer dominance. The club sits a full 22 points ahead of Monaco, their closest challenger, with six games to go. Anyone hoping for late-season drama in France will have to look somewhere else.
This run means more than just another gold star on the jersey. PSG are now unbeaten in a club-record 28 league matches. That’s not a lucky streak; that’s total control, something fans barely dared to dream before QSI bought the club in 2011. Since then, winning has felt almost habitual—the kind of expectation that hovers every week, rain or shine. With eleven Ligue 1 titles since the Qatari takeover, PSG have redefined what dominance means in French football.
The win over Angers wasn’t flashy, but it was efficient. Beyond their league ride, PSG also picked up the Trophée des Champions earlier this season, reminding everyone that their hunger for silverware isn’t fading. Now, the real question in Paris isn’t whether they’ll win the league—it’s whether they’ll conquer Europe. Their Champions League semi-final showdown with Arsenal is looming, and after so many domestic successes, the hunger among players—not to mention the Sheikh on the touchline—for the elusive European crown is as strong as ever.
European Heavyweights Stumble As PSG March On
While Paris celebrated, over in Spain the story was different. Real Madrid took a hard hit in La Liga, losing ground at a time when every point counts in the title race. Their slip gives Barcelona a sliver of hope, but even the Catalans couldn’t take full advantage, stalling with a draw against Betis. The Spanish giants look vulnerable just as the season’s pressure cooker heats up.
European football is catching its breath. PSG have locked down their league, and their focus is turning elsewhere: a double-header against Arsenal in the Champions League semi-finals. With the final set for May 31 in Munich against Inter Milan, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Paris, a city with domestic dominance on repeat, craves the European song that still escapes them. For Real Madrid and Barcelona, this weekend reminded them the continent’s giants aren’t immune to missteps. But in Paris, it’s all about chasing history—and doing it in style.
