Highlights: Paris Saint-Germain has just won an 11th title of champion of France after their draw in Strasbourg (1-1), a record. With its 11th trophy, PSG now sits alone at the top of the standings for the most league titles France acquired. Until now, the capital club shared this status with AS Saint-Étienne, winner of the first division championship ten times between the 1956-1957 season and the 1980-1981 season. It is also the 9th title for Marco Verratti, who arrived at the club in the summer of 2012.


To get its 11th title of champion of France this Saturday night in Strasbourg (1-1), Paris had a season with some ups and not bad


It's done and it's historic! Paris has just won an 11th title of champion of France after their draw in Strasbourg (1-1), a record. A season that had started on a high note, with 17 goals scored by the Red and Blue in only three games. But the second part of the championship, also interspersed with the World Cup, was marked by several setbacks. We decrypt this season in numbers.

11. With its 11th trophy, PSG now sits alone at the top of the standings for the most league titles France acquired. Until now, the capital club shared this status with AS Saint-Étienne, winner of the first division championship ten times between the 1956-1957 season and the 1980-1981 season. It is also the 9th title for Marco Verratti, who arrived at the club in the summer of 2012.

38. Like the number of days spent at the top of the championship. Paris Saint-Germain has not left the head of Ligue 1 since the 1st day and will occupy it until the 38th and last. Christophe Galtier's men had started this season in the best way, winning 5 goals to 0 on the lawn of Clermont. The goalscorers? Neymar, Hakimi, Marquinhos and Messi, author of a double. They had stunned the Auvergnats, while Mbappé had remained in Paris to treat his adductors. The festival of goals was extended against Montpellier (5-2) on the 2nd day, then at the Pierre-Mauroy stadium against Losc, where the Red and Blue won 7 goals to 1.

37. The number of goals conceded by Paris Saint-Germain after 37 rounds. PSG is not the best defense: Lens, with only 28 goals conceded, is ahead of PSG. Nice (36) too.

6. Since 2011 and the takeover of PSG by the Qatari fund QSI, PSG has only twice reached the number of 6 defeats in the league in a single season. For the 2022-2023 sporting year, Lens was the first to beat the capital club on January 1st (3-1). In the aftermath, Rennes, twice, Monaco, Lyon and Lorient followed. We have to go back to the 2020-2021 season to see such a figure reached, with 8 losses. PSG then finished 2nd in the championship, behind the Losc of a certain Christophe Galtier.

5. Ligue 1 referees have sanctioned PSG players five times with a red card since the start of the season, including two for Morocco's Achraf Hakimi. The Parisians also received 55 yellow cards. And this time, it was the Italian Marco Verratti who was the most punished, with 9 yellow cards received in 24 games.

11. The Parisian club was the biggest supplier of players present at the World Cup, held in Qatar last November and December. Eleven internationals have provided the ranks of the selections (Messi, Mbappe, Hakimi, Neymar, Marquinhos, Vitinha, Nuno Mendes, Danilo, Soler, Sarabia, Navas). And thanks to their performances and their careers, PSG has collected nearly 3.1 million euros, paid by FIFA, to compensate for the availability of its players.

17. Injuries have not spared the Parisians, and 17 players of the squad have been affected. At the end of the season, four are missing: Nuno Mendes (tendon), Nordi Mukiele (calf), Presnel Kimpembe (Achilles tendon) and Neymar (ankle).
