French forward Kylian Mbappe has clinched his seventh league title as Paris St-Germain secured their third consecutive Ligue 1 trophy. The title was sealed after second-placed Monaco suffered a 3-2 defeat against Lyon.

With only three games left in the season, PSG boasts a commanding 12-point lead at the top of the table, rendering them unassailable in the title race.

The crucial goal was scored by Malick Fofana, who netted late to secure the victory for Lyon. PSG had the chance to secure the title on Saturday but were held to a draw by relegation-threatened Le Havre.

While PSG celebrates their collective achievement, star forward Kylian Mbappe continues to excel individually. Leading the Ligue 1 scoring charts with 26 goals, Mbappe’s impending departure in the summer remains a significant talking point.

This victory also marks Mbappe’s sixth Ligue 1 title with PSG, adding to the one he won during his time at Monaco in the 2016/17 season.
