10-Time French Champion Saint-Etienne Relegated and Greenwood Ties Top Scorer Dembelé

On Saturday, May 17, 2025, Saint-Etienne was relegated after losing 3-2 to Toulouse at a sold-out Stade Geoffroy-Guichard in front of 38,000 spectators.
Following a disappointing season, Saint-Etienne, a club with a rich legacy in French football from the 1960s and 1970s, was relegated alongside bottom-placed Montpellier, both moving down to Ligue 2.
Meanwhile, Paris Saint-Germain celebrated its 13th Ligue 1 title at the Parc des Princes with a 3-1 win over Auxerre, having secured the championship six games earlier with a record 84 points.
Mason Greenwood of Marseille scored twice and assisted once to help seal second place, finishing joint top scorer with PSG’s Ousmane Dembélé, who will receive the trophy due to fewer penalties scored under league rules.
Le Havre avoided relegation by winning 3-2 at Strasbourg with a late panenka penalty by Abdoulaye Touré, while Lyon missed Champions League football amid financial uncertainty following a provisional relegation ruling.
