Along with Messi, who added the 39th title of his career and today scored PSG’s goal, the Argentines also consecrated themselves Ángel Di María, Leandro Paredes, Mauro Icardi and DT Mauricio Pochettino.
The team from the French capital reached 78 units and is already unattainable for its escort, the Olympique de Marseille of Argentine coach Jorge Sampaoli, who will visit Reims tomorrow.
Messi opened the scoring today 23 minutes into the second half with a shot from outside the area, after receiving a pass from Brazilian star Neymar, while Jean Corentin equalized for Lens, in which defender Facundo Medina was not called up , with just two minutes to go.
In the absence of four days for its completion, PSG thus obtained its tenth league title (1986, 94, 2013, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20 and 22), the same amount as Saint Etienne, although it remains unpaid the debt that haunts him and for which he had hoped with the arrival of Messi: the Champions League, from which this year he was eliminated in the round of 16 by Real Madrid (Spain).
The obvious performance problems he had throughout the season earned Pochettino serious questions, whose continuity is in doubt despite this title, and led, for example, to the Parisian “ultras” withdrawing from today’s game before the end to express your disagreement.
Messi now accumulates, what has been said, the enormous figure of 39 titles: 10 Spanish leagues, 7 Copas del Rey, 8 Super Cups, 4 Champions, 3 Club World Cups and 3 European Super Cups with Barcelona; 1 Copa América, 1 Under 20 World Cup and an Olympic Game with the Argentine National Team; and this Ligue 1 from France.
Di María, meanwhile, added his thirtieth coronation: five Leagues, five French Cups, four League Cups and five Super Cups with PSG; one League and two Portuguese Cups with Benfica; a League, two Copas del Rey, a Spanish Super Cup, a Champions League and a European Super Cup with Real Madrid; and a U20 World Cup, an Olympic Game and a Copa América with the National Team.
Paredes already has 12 titles, Icardi has 6 and for Pochettino it was the third, after a French Super Cup, a French Cup.
