French League News :: Lille end PSG dominance to win French Ligue 1 title

Posted on 2021-05-23 by Gooner

Lille have ended Paris Saint-Germain's dominance to win the Ligue 1 title after beating Angers 2-1 on Sunday.

Les Dogues become French champions for the fifth time in their history their last title came in 2011, when Eden Hazard was part of the squad. Lille also won the league in 1933, 1946, 1954 and 2011

PSG have failed to win the title for the first time since 2017, when Kylian Mbappe led Monaco to Ligue 1 glory. The Parisians have won seven of the past nine campaigns (2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2018, 2019 and 2020) but came up short this year after a mid-season wobble.

Lille have been consistent throughout the season and remain unbeaten in the matches against closest rivals PSG, Lyon and Monaco. They also boast the best away record in the league with 43 points from 18 games and have conceded only 22 goals
