PSG defeated by Paris FC in Ligue 1 stunner

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) lifted the Ligue 1 trophy but then lost 2-1 away to their neighbours, Paris FC, on Sunday in their final game before the Champions League final against Arsenal.

PSG clinched a fifth straight French title, and a record extending 14th overall, with a 2-0 win over nearest challengers Lens on Wednesday, and they were handed the trophy in a low-key ceremony before kick-off at the Stade Jean-Bouin.

Coach Luis Enrique included many of his most important players in his line-up in PSG’s last outing before they face Arsenal in Budapest on May 30, when they will attempt to retain the European crown they won for the first time in the club’s history last season.

But they were dealt a blow when Ousmane Dembele, last year’s Ballon d’Or winner and the newly-crowned Ligue 1 player of the season, came off before the half-hour mark in an apparent injury scare.

Bradley Barcola gave PSG the lead early in the second half, but substitute Alimami Gory equalised and then scored a stoppage-time winner for Paris FC, who finished 11th in their first season since promotion to the top flight.
