Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) successfully defended their Ligue 1 title in the 2024–25 season, securing their 13th French league crown with six matches to spare. Their championship was officially clinched on April 5, 2025, following a 1-0 victory over Angers, which extended their lead to an unassailable 22 points ahead of second place. This marked PSG’s fourth consecutive Ligue 1 title, underscoring their domestic dominance under manager Luis Enrique[2][3].
PSG’s title defense was marked by remarkable consistency and resilience. The team remained unbeaten throughout the league campaign, setting a new record of 28 consecutive league games without defeat. Their success was built on a balanced combination of youthful talent and experienced leadership, with 18 different players contributing goals. The squad boasted the best attack and defense in the league, as well as the top scorer, reflecting their comprehensive superiority on both ends of the pitch[3].
The club’s dominance was further highlighted by their ability to secure the championship well before the season’s conclusion, a feat only previously achieved by the 2015–16 PSG team, who were crowned champions with eight games remaining. This early clinching of the title speaks to PSG’s strategic depth and the gap in quality between them and their Ligue 1 rivals. Their 13th title also extended their record as the most successful club in French football history[2][3].
While PSG’s domestic campaign was near flawless, the broader Ligue 1 landscape saw other teams like Marseille, Monaco, Nice, and Lille competing for European qualification spots. However, none posed a serious threat to PSG’s supremacy during the season. The club’s ability to maintain such a high level of performance despite the pressures of defending the title indicates a well-managed squad and effective tactical approach by the coaching staff[4].
Looking ahead to the 2025–26 season, PSG remains the clear favorite to continue their winning streak in Ligue 1. Their recent transfer activity and squad stability suggest they are well-positioned to meet expectations and avoid the challenges that often accompany title defenses. Meanwhile, newly promoted teams such as Lorient, Paris FC, and Metz will aim to establish themselves in the top flight, but PSG’s dominance is unlikely to be seriously challenged in the near term[4][5].
