Paris Saint-Germain clinched the Ligue 1 title five rounds early on Saturday after beating Monaco 2-0 at the Parc des Princes.

The victory came in the first match of the new season and was crucial for PSG's chances of retaining their league crown. The team had already secured the top spot with two wins from three matches before the game against Monaco.

In the first half, PSG dominated the possession but failed to find the back of the net. However, they broke through when Kevin de Bruyne scored his first goal for the club in just the second minute. De Bruyne received the ball from Kylian Mbappe and took advantage of a mistake from Monaco goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma to shoot into the far corner of the net.

Monaco made changes to their lineup in the second half, bringing on forward Antoine Griezmann and midfielder Lucas Hahn. These additions did not change the outcome of the game, as PSG continued to dominate the play and kept up their attacking pressure.

The win gave PSG a commanding lead in the table and puts them one step closer to winning their fifth consecutive league title. The team will now focus on maintaining this momentum and defending their position in the remaining matches of the season.

This result is particularly significant for PSG because it marks the end of a long wait for the club to regain their dominance over the Ligue 1 title. After years of struggling under previous managers like Laurent Blanc and Thierry Henry, the team has finally found its footing and rediscovered its form.

With the title firmly in their grasp, PSG will look to build on their success and continue to challenge for European glory in the coming seasons. The team's performance against Monaco shows that they have the talent and discipline needed to compete at the highest level of football.
