And in the end, it’s PSG who wins… Abused during the second part of the season, Christophe Galtier’s players won the title of champion of France on Saturday, after their draw in Strasbourg (1-1). If he did not appear in front of the press, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi spoke via a press release from the club. “This is obviously a historic moment for PSG, swears the Qatari president, in this short statement. This 11th title of champion of France rewards all the work undertaken for twelve years now. Reaching the peak of Ligue 1 history and overtaking a legend like that of Saint-Etienne is a real source of pride. I would like to associate all those – managers, players, staff and supporters – who, especially since the first title in 1986, have participated in making this Club a benchmark. This record is necessarily also theirs.
Remember that PSG had won two French championship titles before the start of the Qatari era (1986, 1994). Since 2011 and the takeover by QSI, Paris has only let the crown slip away on three occasions, in 2012, 2017 and 2021. the players, the staff and all the collaborators of the Club who work hard to achieve this”, added “NAK”, acknowledging all the same, and it is not trivial, that “it was difficult. But we got there. We are now looking forward to celebrating this title next Saturday at the Parc des Princes during the match against Clermont.” The party at home, before turning the page on a 2022-23 season which will remain painful for many Paris Saint-Germain lovers.
