Overview
- Ousmane Dembélé kept his Best Player crown on Monday and also won Goal of the Season, while Pierre Sage (Lens) took Best Coach, Désiré Doué (PSG) Best Young Player, Robin Risser (Lens) Best Goalkeeper, and Michael Olise (Bayern) Best French Player Abroad.
- The team of the season left out Ligue 1 top scorer Esteban Lepaul, prompting a wry post from Rennes and fresh debate over choices like Mason Greenwood’s inclusion despite mixed form.
- Lens’s rise under Sage, recognized by his coaching award, delivered a sustained title push and Champions League qualification, with rookie keeper Risser also honored for a standout first top-flight season.
- PSG can clinch a 14th Ligue 1 title with a draw or win at Lens on Wednesday, in what Luis Enrique called a celebration for French football as he balances minutes and injuries before Europe’s showpiece.
- The club is pacing its squad for the Champions League final against Arsenal on May 30 in Budapest, with a light match slate and a possible friendly designed to keep rhythm without adding strain.
