Paris St-Germain clinched an unprecedented 11th Ligue 1 title in a hard-fought draw against Strasbourg, thanks to Lionel Messi's remarkable goal.

Lionel Messi surpassed Cristiano Ronaldo's record of 495 goals in Europe's top five leagues with his 496th goal, a superb finish from Mbappe's pass.

This goal holds significance as it may be Messi's final one for PSG amid ongoing speculation about his departure this summer.

He leaves PSG on a high note, having scored 32 goals during his time with the club.

Kevin Gameiro equalised for Strasbourg, but a draw was enough for PSG to secure the title with their superior goal difference over Lens.

Celebrations were subdued as PSG's triumph was effectively secured last week.

Christophe Galtier's future with PSG remains uncertain, despite his role in securing their ninth title in the past 11 years.

Galtier, who led Lille to the 2020–21 title, faced criticism after PSG's Champions League exit in the round of 16 against Bayern Munich.

Galtier acknowledged the challenges faced by reigning champions in European leagues this season and emphasised the significance of winning a title.

PSG's victory surpasses the previous record of 10 French titles jointly held by Saint-Etienne and Marseille.
