Lille won at Angers on Sunday to finish one point ahead of Paris St-Germain at the top of the table
It is a remarkable transformation. Three years ago, Lille were almost relegated, only surviving after winning three of their final four matches. Now, they have pipped the might of Paris St-Germain to the French title.
They have done it on less than a quarter of PSG's budget, and amid the uncertainty of a mid-season takeover. They can thank an astute, underrated manager in Christophe Galtier, some smart signings - and a few of PSG's own discarded youth products.
