Historical title: Paris St. Germain is French master

For the As St. Etienne this season could become a double bitter. The traditional club putting in the relegation battle could again horn the fall in second-rate after 17 years. And, historically perhaps more significant: "Les Verts" are, that is already finally fixed, after almost 50 years in this role no longer the sole French record champion.

Due to the Biedere 1: 1 against RC Lens on Saturday evening, the capital club already made four gaming days before the end the tenth championship of club history - the eighth since the Qatar entry - perfect. Thus, PSG is now equal to St. Etienne, which had achieved his last title in 1981.

Great celebration mood does not want to be

Despite the historical success in Paris, the great celebration mood is difficult. Significant: When Neymar turned a penalty in the away game at promoted Clermont a penalty in front of the guest block, the PSG fans sitting behind it reacted as if a construction pass between two central defenders were facilitated. Not at all.

Also in the crucial game, it remained stuffed over wide stretches, triumph was not really celebrated after closing whip.

According to the high-profile reinforcements of the past summer, everything but the championship would have been embarrassed, the focus was on the Champions League anyway from the beginning - and the star ensemble failed in a dramatic manner to Real Madrid. Not even for the French Cup, it reached for a lost penalty shootout against the OGC Nice.

A title in passing

The Team in Ligue 1, however, the team of coach Mauricio Pochettino drove almost in passing. Stars like Neymar were spared regularly, Messi sponge rather with, as to dominate - and the goalkeepers Gianluigi Donnarumma and Keylor Navas changed as if they were preparatory games. The ultimately before the Champions League appearances were also.

No significant competition and rows of late goals

Unlike the preseason, it was lacking in the presence of competition: Defending champion Lille OSC sucked after the sensation title in the previous year, because of the departure of Meistertrainer Christophe Galtier into a mediocrity. The North Franzos had received 83 points in 2020/21, currently Olympique Marseille is the first PSG "pursuer" at 62 meters. At the latest after the 2: 1 on Om last weekend, the PSG season was actually over.

Paris Saint-Germain: A Legacy of Failure

The success in the top game was something like the reflection of the whole PSG season: the team rarely shone as their names would suggest it, but they won their games ultimately. Especially against the supposedly small of the Ligue 1, against which it had regularly come to inexplicable suspects in the preseason, Paris remained serious. A large fisthead in the sometimes led led led games: Alone five times PSG achieved a winning goal after the 86th minute, of which four times between the 6th and 12th matchday. Thereafter, the lead on the inconsistent remainder of the league was too big to abandon tension.

One last farewell to Mbappé?

For PSG this season, there are now only the goalkeeper crown for Kylian Mbappé, which leads the list from Wissam Ben Yedder (As Monaco) and Martin Terrier (Stade Rennes). One last farewell to the striker trusted by Real Madrid? Without the different player of this PSG season, the sports director Leonardo continues to struggle desperately, the club could stand before a change.

In the long run, the AS St. Etienne is still able to say goodbye to the divided - Title record champion. It would be an end with a long announcement. Like mbappé?
