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 comfortably with a nine-point lead ahead of second-placed AS Monaco. Last season, the gap was even more cavernous, as they finished a staggering 19 points clear of runners-up Olympique de Marseille.
While the gap between PSG and Lens is now at nine points, the latter ran the former closer than Monaco did two years ago, keeping alive their title bid until the penultimate gameweek of the Ligue 1 campaign. PSG will now hope to complete a double by defending their Champions League crown in the final against Arsenal on May 26.
