Paris Saint-Germain inched closer to their record-extending 13th Ligue 1 title with a commanding 6-1 victory over Saint-Etienne on Saturday, extending their unbeaten run dominantly. The win propelled PSG to 71 points from 27 matches, leaving them just a draw away from securing the championship when they face Angers next Saturday. Meanwhile, relegation-threatened Saint-Etienne remains 18th, with 20 points from 26 games. Despite falling behind early to Lucas Stasin's ninth-minute strike, PSG responded emphatically. Gonzalo Ramos levelled from the penalty spot just before halftime, and the floodgates opened in the second half. Khvicha Kvaratskheliya fired PSG ahead in the 50th minute before Desire Doué struck three minutes later to extend the lead. Joao Neves made it 4-1 in the 62nd minute, and Doué completed his brace moments later. Ibrahim Mbaye capped off the rout in stoppage time, sealing another emphatic victory for the Parisians. With just one point needed, PSG's coronation as Ligue 1 champions seems inevitable.
