PSG’s Luis Enrique after Ligue 1 title win: ‘It is the most tasty of the three.’

Paris Saint-Germain wrapped up their 14th Ligue 1 title and their fifth in succession following a 2-0 win over RC Lens on Wednesday night. Luis Enrique still has a 100% record: three seasons, three league titles. For the Spaniard, this was the best of the lot.

Going into Wednesday’s game, the title was already *“99.9%”*assured, Luis Enrique said. PSG were already six points ahead of Lens with two games remaining and had a superior goal difference of +15. However, since Luis Enrique arrived, this is the closest that PSG have been run for the Ligue 1 title. In his first season, his side finished nine points ahead of second-placed AS Monaco, and last season, the gap to runners-up Olympique de Marseille was 19 points.

Whilst the gap between PSG and Lens is now at nine points, the latter ran the former closer than Monaco two years ago, keeping alive their title bid until the penultimate gameweek of the Ligue 1 campaign. “It is the most tasty of the three(league) *titles that we have won. Lens have done a great job,”*said Luis Enrique in a press conference attended by Get French Football News.

*“It was difficult for us. We have also had a strange season. We have had injuries, like the majority of teams, but we also had very little holiday last summer. It was hard to manage,”*he added.
