Paris Saint-Germain confirmed their record 11th Ligue 1 title at Stade de la Meinau, although the shine was slightly taken off the night for them as Strasbourg valiantly fought to a 1-1 draw.The two teams entered the contest on the cusp of achieving their respective goals, albeit two very different aims with Strasbourg looking to stay in the league. For all of PSG’s early control, El Chadaille Bitshiabu put his team in trouble with an underhit backpass that was intercepted by Habib Diallo, although the angle proved too tight for the forward to score from. That moment lifted Le Racing, and Diallo took a superb touch to get past Danilo Pereira and unleashed an effort that was tipped over by Gianluigi Donnarumma.PSG BECOME THE FIRST SIDE TO WIN 11 LIGUE 1 TITLES 🇫🇷 pic.twitter.com/VzOa7GqWLP— GOAL (@goal) May 27, 2023 Kylian Mbappé offered a reminder of his threat when it appeared he would dance through the numerous bodies in Strasbourg’s box until Ismaël Doukouré came across brilliantly to halt him, and Matz Sels made an equally impressive save to deny Renato Sanches’ volley from the ensuing corner. While Lionel Messi also had an opportunity, the hosts refused to fade with Diallo collecting the ball from Habib Diarra’s knockdown and hitting an audacious effort that struck the post.##EDITORS_CHOICE##Backed by a vocal home crowd, Strasbourg continued to compete well in the second period. However, PSG finally conjured a moment of magic before the hour mark, as Mbappé worked enough space to slide the ball across for Messi to clinically finish for his 16th league goal of the season. Messi then returned the favour by teeing up Mbappé, although the Frenchman was uncharacteristically wasteful as he poked the ball harmlessly wide.YOU CAN WATCH MESSI’S GOAL HERE.🔝⚽️ Leo Messi becomes the top scorer in the history of the 5 major European championships with 4️⃣9️⃣6️⃣ goals 🙌🔴🔵 #RCSAPSG pic.twitter.com/wMGnADyp5g— Paris Saint-Germain (@PSG_English) May 27, 2023 Strasbourg’s unwavering efforts eventually paid dividends in the 79th minute, when Morgan Sanson’s original effort was saved and former PSG frontman Kevin Gameiro delicately dinked the ball past Pereira a mere three minutes after coming off the bench, as Strasbourg confirmed their safety with a memorable draw. Despite frustratingly losing their lead, PSG’s fourth consecutive game unbeaten confirmed that they would be the first team in Ligue 1 history to top the table from the first match of the season to the last.YOU CAN WATCH GAMEIRO’S GOAL HERE.Leo Messi becomes the most decorated player in history with 43 trophies — alongside Dani Alves. ✨🇦🇷 #MessiHistorical night for Leo while he wins the Ligue1 title with PSG — he will leave the club in the next few weeks. pic.twitter.com/XPebwbyWl6— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) May 27, 2023 LIGUE 1 – MATCHDAY 37SaturdayStrasbourg – PSG 1-1 (0-0)/Gameiro 79 – Messi 59/Lille – Nantes 2-1 (0-1)/David 51 pen, 88 pen – Merlin 18/Lens – Ajaccio 3-0 (3-0)/Machado 16, Thomasson 22, Openda 35 pen/Olympique Lyon – Reims 3-0 (2-0)/Agbadou 2 og, Lacazette 9, Caqueret 82/Montpellier – Nice 2-3 (2-0)/Savanier 7, 17 pen – Barkley 53, Laborde 67, 79/Rennes – Monaco 2-0 (0-0)/Majer 52, Gouiri 73/Olympique Marseille – Brest 1-2 (0-0)/Mbemba 75 – Magnetti 57, Camara 81/Angers – Troyes 2-1 (1-1)/Abdelli 38, Rao-Lisoa 90 – Chavalerin 13/Clermont – Lorient 2-0 (1-0)/Khaoui 44, Caufriez 74/Toulouse – Auxerre 1-1 (1-1)/Anboukhlal 44 – Raveloson 24/
