The Match:
This match was Paris Saint-Germain final home match of the campaign. The opportunity to celebrate with the supporters... on the pitch first of all...

The show began with a fireworks display... in the Dijon penalty box! In just four minutes, Les Rouge et Bleu scored twice through Di Maria whose 20-metre curler deflected home (1-0, 3') and moments later and Edinson Cavani met El Fideo's cross with an unstoppable header from close range (2-0, 4')!

The tone had been set! The party had started early as the Parc des Princes celebrated its champions. Thomas Tuchel's side laid siege to Runarsson's goal and Kylian Mbappé went close to scoring number three with powerful shot from a tight angle (10') before Mbe Soh's header was saved by the visiting 'keeper (25'). Kylian finally added the third ten minutes before half-time when Cavani knocked Kurzawa's cross back across goal and Mbappé slid in to knock it home (3-0, 36').

The France international then got his brace just before the hour mark with a magnificent chip over Runarsson (4-0, 56).

Alphonse Areola then made a great save to deny Saïd (80'). Paris signed off from the Parc des Princes with a 4-0 win!

A man in the match: Kylian Mbappé
In the 56th minute, Mbappé became the first French player to score 32 goals in a Ligue 1 season since Philippe Gondet in 1965-1966 with Nantes. What a season it's been for the 20 year old....

The word: Communion
In a wonderful atmosphere at the Parc des Princes, Les Rouge et Bleu turned on the style in their final outing of 2018-19. The ultras sang throughout before sharing the triumph with the players who lifted the Hexagoal trophy for the eighth time.

Coming up:
With the job done at home, Les Rouge et Bleu will take on Reims in the final match of the 2018-19 season, next Friday at 21:00, completing their successful title defence in the process!
