Mbappé’s early exploits set PSG on a path to victory, but Auxerre’s Lassine Sinayoko did manage to pull one back for the home side in the 51st minute. Despite this setback, Paris St. Germain displayed their composure and resilience, fending off Auxerre’s late surge to secure a crucial win.

Since 2013, PSG has claimed the league title a staggering eight times, establishing themselves as the dominant force in French football. Only in 2017 and 2021 did they miss out on the championship during this period, highlighting their consistent excellence.

With just two matches remaining, Paris St. Germain finds themselves in pole position to clinch the coveted trophy once again. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the serial winners seem destined to add another chapter to their glorious history, firmly asserting their dominance in French football.
