Paris St Germain were crowned Ligue 1 champions for a record-extending 12th time on Sunday as second-placed Monaco lost 3-2 at Lyon.
The latest success for Luis Enrique’s side means Kylian Mbappe, whose contract expires in the summer, will depart the French capital with seven league titles.
Trailing by 12 points, only a win would do for Monaco to stay alive in the title race, and they took the lead after just 20 seconds through Wissam Ben Yedder.
But Lyon hit back through Alexandre Lacazette and Said Benrahma to turn the game around before the 25th minute.

Brest sit two points behind Monaco after winning a nine-goal thriller 5-4 at Rennes.
Arnaud Kalimuendo’s brace gave Rennes an early 2-0 lead, but Brest responded through Steve Mounie, then drew level with a Warmed Omari own goal early in the second half.
Martin Satriano and Mahdi Camara put the visitors 4-2 up but Arthur Theate and Martin Terrier levelled things up, only for Lilian Brassier to win it deep into stoppage time.
Lille are a further point back in fourth after goals from Ismaily and Yusuf Yazici saw them come from behind to win 2-1 at struggling Metz.

Clermont boosted their slim survival hopes with a 4-1 win over Reims as Muhammed-Cham Saracevic and Elbasan Rashani scored two each, putting them one point behind Lorient who lost 2-1 at home to Toulouse.
Hakan Calhanoglu grabbed two goals as Inter Milan eased to a 2-0 win over 10-man Torino before taking an open-top bus ride into the city to celebrate their Serie A crown.
Torino were reduced to 10 men four minutes into the second half when referee Maria Sole Ferrieri Caputi – heading the first all-female group to officiate a Serie A match – sent off Adrien Tameze for a foul on Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
Mkhitaryan then set up Calhanoglu for the opener before the second came from the penalty spot after a foul on Marcus Thuram.
