Ligue 1 news

Last night PSG won the Ligue 1 title their first title since 1994 with a 1-0 win over Lyon last night.

From coach Carlo Ancelotti to substitute Sylvain Armand, Paris Saint-Germain were in seventh heaven after clinching the Ligue 1 title and can't wait to return to the capital to celebrate with their fans for the first time in 19 years.

Carlo Ancelotti (Paris Saint-Germain coach): "I'm very happy, above all because winning here in Lyon is never easy. We played a good match, a tough match. We showed that we deserve the title. It was a tough season, but after December, when the side gelled into a solid, compact unit, things went well. We deserve this title. Perhaps the switch to a 4-4-2 formation was important. It might have boosted the players' confidence, but I don't think that a formation can be the key; the players assumed their individual and collective responsibilities and improved their understanding with each other.

It's a relief, but it's true that we worked hard and well. We had a good lead atop the table and we needed to manage the situation well. Tonight, we gave everything and we won. I haven't spoken with the club about my future yet, but we have time. There are still two matches left and we will respect the league and the other teams. But the players deserve to celebrate. We can't wait to get back to Paris to party with our fans.
I was confident throughout the season because, objectively, the individual quality of our players is the highest. But it's not an easy league; there are a lot of surprises, a lot of intensity and speed. This title has the same place in my heart as the others I have won and I'm very happy to have won in France.
