Champion PSG thrashes Montpellier and Monaco seals Champions League spot

PARIS (AP) — Ligue 1 champion Paris Saint-Germain did not need its usual stalwarts to beat last-placed Montpellier 4-1 with a Goncalo Ramos hat trick on Saturday.

Behind PSG, Monaco sealed a spot in next season's Champions League on the penultimate matchday after beating Lyon 2-0.

Marseille could also guarantee a Champions League place if it won at Le Havre. The southern club led 1-0 when the match was stopped because of crowd trouble. It resumed after about half an hour.

After getting past Arsenal midweek to reach the Champions League final, PSG coach Luis Enrique rested seven players: Gianluigi Donnarumma, Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Nuno Mendes, Willian Pacho, Fabian Ruiz and Vitinha.
