PSG on Verge of 10th Ligue 1 Title After Crushing Lyon

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) are on the cusp of securing their 10th French Ligue 1 title in 12 seasons after crushing Lyon 4-1 on Sunday. The victory, which came on the heels of their 4-1 triumph over Barcelona in the Champions League, extended PSG's unbeaten streak in Ligue 1 to 11 games.

The Parisians dominated the first half at the Parc des Princes, scoring all four goals before the break. Nemanja Matic's own goal and Lucas Beraldo's header gave PSG an early 2-0 lead within six minutes. Goncalo Ramos then netted twice, either side of an Ernest Nuamah strike for Lyon, to put the game beyond doubt.

Despite resting star forward Kylian Mbappe, PSG cruised to victory, showcasing their depth and dominance in the French league. The result leaves them 11 points clear of second-placed Monaco with just five matches remaining.

"I'm very happy with the result, with the match, and with the week," said PSG coach Luis Enrique. "After the match in Barcelona, you never know how it's going to be, but I think the team was extremely precise and I am very confident and very happy."

Lyon, who have enjoyed a remarkable revival under new coach Pierre Sage, remain in contention for European qualification despite the setback. They are a point away from seventh position, which would secure a Europa Conference League berth.

In other Ligue 1 action, Monaco moved into second place with a 2-0 win at Brest. Denis Zakaria and Takumi Minamino scored the goals for the principality side, who are now two points above Brest and three ahead of fourth-placed Lille.

Lille bounced back from their Europa Conference League exit to Aston Villa by beating Strasbourg 1-0, with Jonathan David scoring the only goal of the game. The Canadian forward has now scored 17 goals in Ligue 1 this season.

Marseille needed a stoppage-time goal from Faris Moumbagna to salvage a 2-2 draw at Toulouse. The result leaves them ninth in the table, with their hopes of European qualification fading.

Montpellier won 2-1 at Reims, while Metz moved out of the relegation zone with a 1-0 victory at Le Havre.
