Two days after the 10-year anniversary of its last Ligue 1 triumph, Lille capped a dominant season with a league title on the final day, ending Paris Saint-Germain's run of three straight titles.
Since Lille's 2011 triumph, PSG has won seven Ligue 1 trophies, only losing once in the last eight seasons entering this year. But three years after finishing 17th, Lille outlasted the French giants with an impressive final stretch in which the club conceded only one league goal since the start of April.
While PSG lost eight times this season—its highest total since Lille's title-winning 2011 season—Lille lost only three games and beat PSG 1-0 in their long-anticipated showdown at the start of April.
