Paris St Germain were crowned Ligue 1 champions for a record-extending 12th time on Sunday, as their third straight title was wrapped up.
PSG, who missed the chance to secure the title on Saturday when they drew 3-3 with Le Havre, have 70 points, 12 ahead of Monaco with three
games remaining.
Monaco’s defeat leaves them on 59 points, 11 behind Luis Enrique’s men.
There are just three matches left this season.
The French giants remain on track to win all four of the trophies available to them this season.
They have also won 10 of the past 13 Ligue 1 titles since their takeover by the state-backed Qatari Sports Investment in 2011.
“Winning the league is fantastic, but winning Ligue 1 for the twelfth time is even more special for everyone connected to Paris Saint-Germain,” PSG President Nasser Al-Khelaifi said on the club’s website.
“We’re going to enjoy this moment as a family. And also keep working hard, game after game, until the last moment of the season.”
Monaco were the only side who could prevent PSG from the title, but their faint hopes were extinguished in Lyon as they fell to their first defeat in nine games, despite taking an early lead.
After Saturday’s draw which kept the champagne on ice, PSG manager Luis Enrique was unconcerned, safe in the knowledge that their far superior goal difference meant the title was all but assured.
The champions have suffered just one league defeat this season, against Nice in September and while they made a slow start to their campaign, once they took top spot after matchday 12, they never looked back.
