PSG seal title as Inter win the double
Paris St-Germain wrapped up the Ligue 1 title for a fifth straight year as Inter Milan won the Coppa Italia to take the double in Italy.
PSG – Champions League holders and finalists – needed just a point for their 14th title overall and wrapped up the division by beating second-placed Lens 2-0.
Lens had 25 shots on goal in a mammoth effort but could not beat Matvey Safonov in the PSG goal.
Winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and substitute Ibrahim Mbaye then scored for the visitors to give Luis Enrique another trophy.
Inter at the double
Inter Milan also added more silverware to their trophy cabinet, brushing aside Lazio 2-0 at the Stadio Olimpico to officially secure the domestic double.
The newly crowned Serie A kings barely broke a sweat as they asserted their dominance over a shaky Lazio side.
The breakthrough arrived just 14 minutes in via a moment of madness from Adam Marusic; the defender completely misjudged a corner, inadvertently heading the ball into his own net to gift Inter the lead.
Things went from bad to worse for Lazio 10 minutes before the break when a Nuno Tavares lapse allowed Marcus Thuram to pounce. The Frenchman ruthlessly squared the ball for Lautaro Martinez, who made no mistake with a simple tap-in.
While the second half saw a few sparks and a late-game scuffle as tempers flared, the result was never in doubt.
