Paris Saint-Germain 3-2 Reims: Cavani double sees champions celebrate title with routine win

May 23, 2015 5:13:25 PM

Paris Saint-Germain got its hands on the Ligue 1 trophy Saturday after seeing out the season with a 3-2 win over Reims.

Ligue 1 champion Paris Saint-Germain celebrated its third straight title triumph in fitting fashion, as Edinson Cavani led a 3-2 home defeat of Reims on Saturday.

Laurent Blanc's men retained their status as champions with a 2-1 victory at Montpellier last time out and, with the trophy presented at full time Saturday, PSG marked the occasion with some fine football, particularly during the first half.

In the absence of the injured Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Cavani proved a constant nuisance to the Reims back line, eventually opening the scoring with half an hour played.
