Paris Saint-Germain and Lens secured their respective Ligue 1 titles on Saturday, while Marseille and Monaco battled for third place in the Coupe de France.
PSG dominated the match against Lyon with goals from Neymar Jr., Kylian Mbappé, and Edinson Cavani, securing a comfortable win and extending their lead at the top of the table. The victory was particularly significant as it gives PSG a clear path to the Champions League knockout stages, where they will face either Real Madrid or Bayern Munich in the first round.
Lens, meanwhile, came from behind to beat Rennes 2-1, thanks to goals from Olivier Giroud and Yannick Bolasie. Despite the loss, Lens remains in contention for a Europa League spot, having won three out of four matches this season.
In the Coupe de France, Marseille faced Montpellier in a tense encounter that saw both teams come close to scoring. The match ended in a 1-1 draw, leaving Marseille with two points and Montpellier with one. With the tie going into extra time, Marseille's chances looked slim but they managed to hold on through a penalty shootout, winning 4-3.
The result means Marseille remain fourth in the league standings, while Montpellier move up to fifth. Monaco, who had been trailing Marseille since the start of the season, finally clinched a victory over Bordeaux 2-1 on Sunday, moving up to sixth in the standings.
Overall, these results provide some positive news for several teams in French football, although there is still much work to be done before reaching the pinnacle of European club competition.
