THE NUMBER
9
French soccer club Paris Saint-Germain was officially crowned Ligue 1 champion for the ninth time, two days after the nation’s government ruled that the league’s season would be be canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. PSG held a 12-point lead over second-place Marseille with 10 rounds of matches left to play when the season was put on hold in March. PSG’s ninth title moves it even with Marseille and one behind French record-holder Saint-Etienne. Since 2013, PSG has won the league every year but one.
