Lionel Messi’s Sensational Goal Clinches PSG’s Record-Tying 10th Ligue 1 Title

After nearly clinching a historic 10th title three days ago, Paris Saint-Germain accomplished the feat in thrilling fashion on Saturday night.

PSG secured the Ligue 1 title in a 1–1 draw against Lens, thanks to a beautiful left-footed rocket by Lionel Messi. The victory moved the star-studded club into a tie with AS Saint-Étienne and Olympique Lyonnais for the most top-flight titles; the clubs have each won 10 top-flight titles between 1935 and 2009.

The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner’s sensational score came in the 68th minute of the match on an assist from Neymar, who was one of the first to greet a celebrating Messi on the pitch.
