Italy stars Verratti and Donnarumma win Ligue 1 with PSG

Italy internationals Marco Verratti and Gianluigi Donnarumma are celebrating after winning the Ligue 1 title with Paris Saint-Germain.

A late Lionel Messi screamer from distance into the top corner still wasn’t enough to beat 10-man RC Lens, who equalised late on, but a point was all they needed.

Midfielder Verratti was in the starting XI this evening, although Donnarumma was benched in favour of Keylor Navas.

It is the 10th Ligue 1 title for PSG, who had been entirely dominant in France until losing their supremacy last season to Lille.

They have now won eight of the last nine Ligue 1 campaigns.

However, the fans jeered coach Mauricio Pochettino’s name when the teamsheets were read out at Parc des Princes and insisted on celebrating outside the stadium even before the final whistle.
