Paris Saint-Germain’s 14th domestic league title was officially sealed in dramatic fashion at Lens’s Bollaert-Delelis stadium on Wednesday evening. The match, which saw Lens push hard for their own championship ambitions, became a stage for intense psychological warfare between the two sets of fans.

Around 1,000 Parisian supporters, confined to their designated area, launched the verbal assault with a provocative banner draped across the stands: «Lens champion, fini d’y croire… retournez boire!!!!» The message, laced with sarcasm, struck a raw nerve with the Sang et Or faithful, who were still in the hunt for the title.

The Lens supporters responded in kind, their counter-banner directed at Paris Saint-Germain’s ultras collective. The message cut deep: «Frustré de pas avoir d’alcool au Qatar? CUP bâtard.» The jibe hit home, targeting both the absence of alcohol in Qatari stadiums and the identity of the Parisian ultras group.

Throughout the match, Lens fans had already made their displeasure known, targeting Ligue de Football Professionnel officials and club president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi with additional messages of protest.
