Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), featuring national team midfielder Lee Kang-in, has secured its fifth consecutive Ligue 1 title.

On May 14, PSG defeated second-place RC Lens 2-0 in an away match at the Bollaert-Delelis Stadium in Lens, thanks to goals from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Ibrahim Mbaye. With one league match remaining, PSG (24 wins, 4 draws, 5 losses; 76 points) has established a 9-point lead over Lens (21 wins, 4 draws, 8 losses; 67 points), ensuring their 14th overall title and fifth straight championship.

Lee Kang-in, who joined PSG in July 2023, has now lifted his third Ligue 1 trophy. He has previously celebrated victories in the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, and French Super Cup.

However, Lee was unable to enjoy the victory on the field, as he missed the match due to an ankle injury sustained during a game against Brest on May 12. He is currently focusing on recovery through indoor training.

PSG is now set to target a consecutive UEFA Champions League title, facing Arsenal from England on May 31 at the Puskás Aréna in Budapest.
