May 23, 2021 8:16 PM

Lille beat Angers 2-1 on Sunday, winning Ligue 1 for the fifth time in club history.

Lille's title represents the first time PSG haven't won the league since 2017.

"It's a great performance. It's incredible," said manager Christophe Galtier after the match. "It was a long, tough day, we were under a lot of pressure and beating PSG on the last day is outstanding. The credit goes to the players. This team scored points against their title rivals. I can't forget that they beat PSG away after losing against Nimes at home.

Galtier is rumored to be leaving the club after this season.

Lille topped the table for 18 out of Ligue 1's 37 matchdays.
