Paris St Germain left it late to earn a 1-0 home win over Stade Brestois on Sunday to all but guarantee a fifth successive Ligue 1 title as Desire Doue came off the bench to score an 82nd-minute winner.
Victory advanced PSG to 73 points with two games left in their league schedule, six ahead of second-placed Lens, who also have two games remaining, and with a far superior goal difference.
PSG require a single point from their next match at Lens on Wednesday to be mathematically certain of the title.
Brest were solid in defence through the first half against a much-changed PSG line-up but in the second half they were breached several times before Doue's effort from the edge of the box secured a 23rd win of the Ligue 1 campaign.
Lille profited from a Denis Zakaria own goal as they won 1-0 at Monaco on Sunday to move third in the standings, putting them on course for a Champions League berth next season.
