How not to be filled with happiness when an end, as they did this Friday evening thanks to their success against Dijon (3-0) to fourteen years of undivided and exclusive domination of the Lyonnaises?
They who have cried so often, can let go “tears of joy now” as Grace Geyoro emphasizes.

In the spans of Jean-Bouin, on the lawn where the giant silver confetti which has been slow to rise in the sky accentuate the glitter and festive side of the evening, communion is strong between all the members of the club. Players find their loved ones. Heroic once again and author of a decisive parade to prevent the Dijonnaises from equalizing what would then have deprived Paris of the title, Chilean goalkeeper Christiane Endler finds his wife and sends her tender gestures.
At 11:50 p.m., Irene Paredes, the Spanish captain who scored the long-awaited second goal this Friday, analyzes the evening and the title with as much hindsight.
“It's completely deserved,” she said.
We worked a lot.
With a goal gap, it's always complicated.
We tried and I just put my head on this corner.
I've always said that even if you work a lot on the details, you don't always get a reward.
I am very stubborn.
We didn't give up until the last game.
We kept players, there is maturity.
We have passed a milestone.

Bernard Mendy, Olivier Echouafni's assistant, lends his medal to his daughter.
“The first title represents a lot.
A lot of effort, a lot of rigor, a lot of tears also sometimes but they were enormous and it is good for Paris Saint-Germain.
I'm especially happy for them, for the supporters who weren't present with us, for amateur football, for our Parisian titis, there were plenty of them tonight so I'm very happy!

The party this Saturday with the supporters
Before leaving to party - which had already started with an atmosphere in the locker rooms worthy of a nightclub -, Kadidiatou Diani, the best player of the season, also shares her pride.
“We worked hard all season, she slips.
It was not always easy, especially after elimination in the Champions League
(Editor's note: in the semi-final against Barcelona).
But we raised our heads to finish the championship well.
And we are really happy.
This medal is too beautiful!
