Paris Saint-Germain almost won it on Wednesday when they beat Angers 3-0 but Marseille's win over Nantes postponed the inevitable, and on Saturday night Paris Saint-Germain claimed the tenth Ligue 1 Uber Eats title in their history thanks to a 1-1 draw with Lens.

As coach Mauricio Pochettino noted, there was devastation in the Champions League this season, with Real Madrid turning their last 16 tie on its head in the return leg, but the league win has been beyond doubt for some months now and the Parisians were evidently keen to start celebrating the reward for all their hard work.

Poch: 'The players were really professional'

"I'm really happy to have won another title for the club, to have made history with the tenth title. It's really important for everyone and for the club," said Pochettino, whose first full season in charge of the club has already yielded silverware. "Yes it's not easy when you have a massive disappointment in the Champions League but the players were really professional and fought to win the league. We've already achieved that. I think it's really important to add another title for the club. We're so happy and we need to give value to the title."

Neymar: 'A very hard and long season'

Meanwhile Neymar was well pleased with this tenth title - the fourth he has got his own hands on.

"There was a bit of champagne sprayed around! But most of all I’m happy for tonight and the title wich is the most important," said the Brazilian superstar. "Yes, it was a very hard and long season with everything that happened. But today we managed to clinch the league title and that was really important for us. Now we need to breathe and to calm our heads down which is the most important."

Teammate Kylian Mbappé was also in celebratory mood:
