PARIS \u2014 Paris Saint-Germain clinched a record-extending 14th French league title after winning 2-0 at closest rival Lens on Wednesday.<\/p>

PSG needed only a draw to seal a fifth consecutive Ligue 1 crown and is now nine points ahead of Lens with one game left.<\/p>\n

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scored in the 29th minute and Ibrahim Mbaye added the second goal in stoppage time after Lens missed several chances to score at Stade Bollaert-Delelis.<\/p>\n

The match was rescheduled from April 11<\/a> by the French league to help titleholder PSG\u2019s ambitions in the Champions League. PSG<\/a> takes on Premier League leader Arsenal<\/a> in the Champions League final on May 30 in Budapest.<\/p>\n

Although the postponement was strongly contested by Lens, coach Pierre Sage\u2019s side had no say in the matter.<\/p>\n

Lens also has a final to prepare for \u2014 against Nice in the French Cup on May 22 \u2014 and Sage left his two best forwards \u2014 wingers Florian Thauvin and Allan Saint-Maximin \u2014 on the bench against PSG until the hour mark.<\/p>\n

PSG punished a Lens error when forward Ousmane Demb\u00e9l\u00e9 intercepted a sloppy pass from defender Malang Sarr and fed Kvaratskhelia, who scored with a clinical finish.<\/p>\n

PSG scored in stoppage time through Mbaye, the 18-year-old forward who thumped a pass from D\u00e9sir\u00e9 Dou\u00e9 in off the crossbar moments after Lens had fluffed yet another chance.<\/p>

Lens should already have been level \u2014 or even ahead \u2014 at the break but striker Wesley Sa\u00efd misjudged a close-range header and then shot straight at goalkeeper Matvei Safonov in first-half stoppage time.<\/p>\n

Safonov kept out another effort from Abdallah Sima early in the second half when the striker went clean through. Sima then hit the post after collecting a superb pass from Thauvin in the 74th.<\/p>\n

Saint-Maximin was dangerous when he came on in the second half but wasted several good situations when excessively trying to put himself in the perfect shooting position.<\/p>\n

The last team to stop PSG winning the title was Lille in 2021. This season was closer than the last, however, when PSG sealed the title without losing<\/a> and with six games left.<\/p>\n

In the other match, Strasbourg won 2-1 at Brest in a game also rescheduled because of Strasbourg\u2019s involvement in the UEFA Conference League, where it lost to Rayo Vallecano in the semifinals.<\/p>\n

Defender Valentin Barco and midfielder Sebastian Nanasi scored for Strasbourg either side of a goal from Brest striker Ludovic Ajorque in a lively opening.<\/p>\n

Strasbourg will finish the season in eighth and Brest was 12th heading into the final round of Ligue 1 games on Sunday. ___<\/p>
