Paris Saint-Germain beat Angers 1-0 at home on Saturday to secure a fourth straight Ligue 1 title and maintain their unbeaten league record this season.
Match Report
The match itself was controlled in its entirety by PSG, having had 81.2% possession and 20 shots.
But despite their domination, the away side managed to hold them off during the first half after Goncalo Ramos and Vitinha both had chances to get their side ahead.
It was not until the 55th minute that Luis Enrique's side got ahead after Desire Doue volleyed home Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's cross.
The hosts continued to control the match after the goal and goalkeeper Yahia Fofana had to be on form to stop a Fabian Ruiz volley four minutes later.
Angers did have a penalty appeal with 12 minutes to go, though the on-field decision of no penalty was confirmed after a VAR check.
It was, in truth, a much more comfortable afternoon for PSG than the score would suggest. Having taken an unassailable lead at the top of the table, they can now switch focus to their Champions League quarter-final against Aston Villa in midweek.
