Since the introduction of the three-point win system in Ligue 1 in 1994–1995, no league leader with a cushion of more than one point over the second-placed side ahead of the season's final two matchdays have failed to win the title. Paris Saint-Germain could therefore secure the title against RC Lens on Wednesday.
This scenario would echo two notable precedents from the 21st century: Lyon's 3-1 victory over Lens in 2001–2002 and, above all, Paris’s 7-1 thrashing of AS Monaco in 2017–2018, both of which effectively sealed the title for OL and Paris respectively against the eventual runners-up.
This season, Les Parisiens have managed to make the difference in every situation, as demonstrated by their six 1-0 wins in the league in 2025–2026, which is already twice as many as in the previous two seasons under Luis Enrique. Les Rouge et Bleu also stand out for the impact of their substitutes; with 28 goals scored by players coming off the bench across all competitions, Paris Saint-Germain boasts the highest such total of any men's team in Europe’s top five leagues.
The capital club has also impressed from distance, with 22 goals scored from outside the box. This tally is another one that is unmatched across Ligue 1, the Premier League, the Bundesliga, La Liga and Serie A this season.
In what was his 100th appearance in all competitions for Paris Saint-Germain, Désiré Doué officially reached the milestone of 50 goal involvements for the club yesterday (29 goals, 21 assists).
Meanwhile, Lucas Hernandez is enjoying his most prolific Ligue 1 campaign ever, as he now has three assists to his name in 2025–2026, which is more than his total from his first two seasons in the French top flight combined.
