# Ligue 1 Final Round: Paris Saint-Germain Clinches Title, Lens and Marseille Secure Champions League Spots, Nantes Relegated

The final round of Ligue 1 delivered a thrilling conclusion to the season, with Paris Saint-Germain securing their title, Lens and Marseille punching their tickets for the Champions League, and Nantes dropping down to Ligue 2.

### Paris Saint-Germain Clinches Title

Paris Saint-Germain proved their dominance once again, securing the Ligue 1 title with a commanding 3-0 victory over Strasbourg. Kylian Mbappé opened the scoring with a clinical finish in the 13th minute, and despite Strasbourg’s efforts to equalize, Paris’s relentless pressure told. Mbappé doubled his tally in the 65th minute, and despite a late surge from Strasbourg, Paris held firm for a well-deserved victory. This title win cements Paris Saint-Germain’s place as one of the most successful clubs in French football history.

### Lens and Marseille Secure Champions League Spots

The highlight of the final round was also Lens’ historic achievement. Lens, making their debut in European football, secured a 2-1 win over Montpellier to finish third and secure a Champions League spot for the first time in their history. Lens’ players celebrated wildly on the pitch, their incredible journey from relegation candidates to European qualifiers embodying the spirit of French football.

Meanwhile, Marseille also secured a Champions League spot with a 1-1 draw against Monaco. Marseille’s third-place finish ensures they return to Europe’s elite competition after a two-year absence. Both Lens and Marseille’s successes underscore the depth and competitiveness of Ligue 1 this season.

### Nantes Relegated

The final round also brought heartbreak for Nantes, who were relegated in dramatic fashion. Nantes, who had been one of the surprise packages of the season, fell 2-1 to Clermont Foot in a nail-biting relegation battle. Nantes had topped the table earlier in the season, but their inconsistent form in the latter stages cost them dearly. The club will now face a tough battle to rebuild in Ligue 2 next season.

### Conclusion

The final round of Ligue 1 was a fitting end to a season full of drama, triumph, and heartache. Paris Saint-Germain cemented their legacy, Lens and Marseille secured their places in Europe, and Nantes bid farewell to Ligue 1 for now. As the season draws to a close, the future of French football looks bright, with emerging talents and established stars taking center stage.
