Paris Saint-Germain has once again stamped its authority on French football. With a 1-0 win over Angers, courtesy of a second-half strike by 19-year-old Warren Doué, PSG secured the Ligue 1 title for the 13th time in club history, and the 11th under Qatari ownership — this time, with six matches still to play.
This season marks a shift in philosophy for the Parisian giants. Gone is the era of superstar line-ups and high-profile signings. Instead, under Luis Enrique, PSG has embraced youth, structure, and long-term planning. The departure of Kylian Mbappé may have raised questions, but the response has been emphatic: a cohesive team built around emerging talents like Zaire-Emery, Barcola, Joao Neves, and the match-winner Doué.
Backed by 23 wins and 5 draws, and still unbeaten in the league, PSG has been untouchable. Only Reims has managed to avoid defeat against them, and will now face PSG again in the Coupe de France final. With Marquinhos as the oldest player in the squad at 30, the foundation is set for a long and successful era.

Luis Enrique, who has been extended through 2027, deserves credit for reshaping PSG into a balanced, intelligent, and efficient unit. His leadership has not only brought results but has also revived the form of players like Ousmane Dembélé, arguably having his best season yet.
The club’s attention now turns to the Champions League, where it will face Aston Villa in the quarter-finals. After eliminating Liverpool in dominant fashion, the dream of European glory — elusive since their 2020 final — is very much alive.
Before the Angers match, PSG fans paid tribute to Diego De Vivo, the 14-year-old Napoli youth player who tragically passed away during training. A large banner showed his image with the words “Diego vive” ("Diego lives"), a moving moment that underlined the special bond between PSG and Napoli supporters.
