Ligue 1 PSG's record 11th French title comes after season full of low points
PSG's 1-1 draw at Strasbourg on Saturday ( May 27 ) secured the trophy with a round to spare and took the Paris club past Saint - Étienne's 10 titles
Paris Saint-Germain's season is coming to a conclusion after winning a record 11th French championship, but it's been one of the most contentious and tense campaigns in a long time, with supporters turning against the players, notably football legend Lionel Messi, and the club president.
With a round to spare, PSG's 1-1 draw at Strasbourg on May 27 gave them the trophy and moved them above Saint-Étienne's 10 championships. However, it's possible that this season will be best remembered for its several low points. PSG's season hasn't been the finest, the captain Marquinhos recently said.
After more well-known coaches were unable to win the much-desired first Champions League championship, Christophe Galtier was brought in to lead a new for the club.
After home setbacks, including consecutive defeats to Rennes and Lyon without scoring a goal, players were booed off the pitch. Even Lorient, a lowly team who placed 10th, triumphed 3-1 in Paris. Both at home and on the road, Rennes defeated PSG, and during a 3-1 loss in Monaco, players Marquinhos and Neymar quarrelled with sporting director Luis Campos.
Campos was furious with the team's dismal performance when it fell down 3-0 at the break, one of the worst showings by PSG since Qatari owners QSI took over 12 years ago. Marquinhos declared, "There's nothing to hide. We have occasionally laxed during games. That effectively captures the season.
When former France great Michel Platini played for the squad in 1981, Saint-Etienne captured the last of its ten championships.
Fans yell at Messi When things weren't going well, part of the fans' rage was directed at Messi, who was thought to be struggling after returning from helping Argentina win the World Cup

However, it was his goal against Strasbourg that ultimately sealed the championship, reaffirming his standing as probably the sport's brightest star.
series of losses
PSG went undefeated before the World Cup kicked up in November, but they've lost nine games total this year. After the World Cup, "a lot of things changed," Marquinhos claimed. We struggled to maintain our level since it was so emotionally and physically taxing. The rot began on January 1st when host Lens defeated PSG 3-1, exposing the team's severe defensive flaws that its offence had been masking for years. PSG was ousted from the Champions League in the round of 16 for the second consecutive year after losing both home and away against Bayern Munich.

Lionel Messi's goal in a 1-1 draw away at Strasbourg shattered the scoring mark for Europe's top five leagues, helping Paris Saint-Germain win their record 11th league championship in French history. However, there are still concerns over the Argentinian's future at the club. Despite Kevin Gameiro's equaliser cancelling out Messi's opening goal on Saturday, PSG now has an unassailable four-point lead over Lens with one game left in the regular season.

PSG had a six-point lead over Lens into the last weekend of the season, had a higher goal differential, and had just six points left to play for. In the end, Lens easily defeated already-relegated Ajaccio 3-0, therefore they just needed the draw to be crowned champions with one game remaining.
