The two title contenders met twice this season in the league with PSG winning the first encounter to snap an 80-game unbeaten run in the league for Lyon. The second match was a 0-0 draw. 

As well as putting an end to Lyon's domestic hopes, PSG also knocked them out of the Champions League at the quarterfinal stage with a 2-2 aggregate win on away goals. 

The title has been a long time coming for PSG who have finished second in the league in eight seasons, including for the past three seasons in a row. 

They were knocked out of the Champions League by eventual winners Barcelona at the semifinal stage. 

PSG's Marie-Antoinette Katoto has been a bright spark for the side, scoring 21 goals. 

Chile international and PSG goalkeeper Christiane Endler kept 19 clean sheets, the most of any player in the league.
