Ligue 1 - K77 scored twice in Paris 3-1 and reversed 84 points to the treble!

On the evening of May 17, 2025, in the spotlight of the Princes Stadium, Paris Saint-Germain ended the Ligue 1 journey with a heart-warming reversal. With Kvaratskeria's double score and key goals from Marginhos and Vitinia, Paris reversed Aussel 3-1, locking in the 13th Ligue 1 championship in the history of the team with a record of 26 wins, 6 draws, 2 losses and 84 points, while leaving the suspense of winning the triple-champion to the last two ultimate matches.

1. Kvaratskhelia scored twice, and the Georgian became the core of the reversal.

When Aussel forward Cyril Dacunia scored a single against offside in the 30th minute, Prince Park Stadium fell into a brief silence. But just 9 minutes later, Kvaratshelia broke the deadlock with a tricky left-foot arc ball - Ruiz made a precise pass to tear the defense, and the Georgian winger cut into the penalty area from the left and used his signature external instep to penetrate Bowman's ten fingers. This goal is not only his 21st league goal this season, but also continues his hot state of scoring in eight consecutive league games. In the 53rd minute of the second half, Kvaratskhelia's performance continued. Mendes made a cross from the left, and he made a quick move in the small penalty area to help Paris overtake the score. Data shows that the 24-year-old winger contributed 2 goals and 1 key pass in the whole game, 3 passes, 68 touches, and a pass success rate of 85%, and was ranked the highest 9.2 points in the game. After the game, he said: "This is a gift to Paris fans. We will use this fighting spirit to strive for more championships."

2. The double stars in the defense shine. Marginhos and Vitina wrote the legend

In addition to Kvaratshelia, Marginhos and Vitina's performance is also crucial. The Brazilian central defender took advantage of a corner kick in the 57th minute to head the ball, showing his dominance in set piece tactics – he has scored 6 goals through corner kicks this season, becoming the defender with the most headers in Ligue 1. Vitinia scored twice with assists from Mayulu in the 82nd minute, locking the score at 3-1. The Portuguese midfielder's league goals rose to 12 goals this season, setting a career high. His transformation from a defensive midfield to an offensive core has become a microcosm of the upgrade of Paris' tactical system.

It is worth mentioning that the resilience shown by the Paris defense line in adversity is equally amazing. Despite conceding the ball shortly after the opening, the combination of Ramos and Marquinios successfully resolved Aussel's multiple counterattacks, especially the former blocked Sinayoko's close shot in the 79th minute, avoiding the score being rewritten. Although goalkeeper Donaluma failed to make a clean sheet, many key saves ensured the team's reversal results.

3. Tactical Game: Enrique's change of formation and Ausselle's counterattack attempt

Facing the rotation lineup after winning the championship early, coach Louis Enrique decisively adjusted his tactics during the break. He changed the formation from 4-3-3 to 3-4-3, strengthening the width of the wing attack, and at the same time replaced Li Gangren to enhance midfield control. This adjustment was immediate - Paris' second half possession rate increased from 52% to 68%, and shots increased from 11 to 19, eventually completing the reversal.

Ausserl demonstrates the resilience of the newly promoted team. Coach Perrin uses a 5-3-2 formation to create a threat using Dacunia's speed and Sinayoko's fulcrum. Despite their possession rate of only 33.3%, they created 5 great opportunities through efficient counterattacks, which would have expanded the lead without Donaluma's divine pounce and goal post blocking. After the game, Perrin said: "We have proved that the newly promoted team can compete with the championship, which is the best incentive for the team."

4. The standings fluctuated: Paris set a record, and the Ligue 1 pattern welcomed a new chapter

This victory allowed Paris to end with 84 points, leading second place Monaco by 24 points, setting the second largest score difference since the implementation of the 3-point system in Ligue 1. Kvaratskhelia won the Golden Boot with 21 goals, while Vitina became the assist leader with 18 assists. Although Ausselle was defeated, he still honored. He completed the relegation task with 11th place, showing the tenacious fighting spirit of the promoted team.

For Paris, this victory is not only a reflection of the league's dominance, but also an important warm-up to the triple crown. The team is currently locked in the Ligue 1 championship, will face Reims in the French Cup final on May 25 and Inter Milan in the Champions League final on June 1. If the triple-champion can be achieved, Paris will become the third team in European football to win all the Champions League, League and domestic cups after Manchester United in 1999 and Barcelona in 2009.

5. Multi-line combat: The final test of the triple-champion journey

Faced with the ultimate challenge to come, Enrique said after the game: "We need to stay focused. The league championship is just the beginning, and the next two finals are the real test." The biggest challenge facing the team at present is physical distribution - since April, Paris has played 12 consecutive games, and some main players have shown signs of fatigue. However, core players such as Kvaratshelia and Dembele are in good shape, especially the former scored a key goal against Arsenal in the Champions League semi-finals, showing their big heart attributes.

In the Champions League, Paris's road to promotion is legendary. They have eliminated four Premier League powerhouses, Manchester City, Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal, becoming the first Ligue 1 club to defeat four Premier League teams in a row in the Champions League knockout round. As a traditional Serie A giant, Inter Milan's defensive counterattack tactics and rich European experience will become the biggest obstacle for Paris. But as Enrique said: “We have proven that we can defeat any opponent, and now is the time to write history. ”

6. Conclusion: Create a legend in the reversal

When the final whistle sounded, the fireworks at the Princes illuminated the night sky of Paris. This reversal is not only a victory in the score, but also a symbol of the team spirit - from calm adjustment when lagging behind to the pursuit of victory after the reversal, Paris showed the resilience and wisdom that the champion should have. Kvalatzglia's bracelet, Marginhos' header, and Vitinia's inspiration together constitute a footnote to this perfect final game.

For Paris, the 84-point league end is not the end, but a new starting point for the triple-champion journey. The French Stadium on May 25 and June 1 The Allianz Stadium on Sunday will witness whether this team can make history. Just as the fans slogan in the stands: "Paris, always move forward!
