The Paris-based club's win has now helped them move past Saint-&Eacute;tienne's &amp; Marsille's previous record of 10 French titles.

Paris Saint-Germain's season is ending with celebrations after a record 11th French title, but it's been one of the most fraught and tension-filled campaigns for many years that saw fans turning on the players, including soccer great Lionel Messi, and the club president.
PSG's 1-1 draw at Strasbourg on Saturday secured the trophy with a round to spare and took the Paris club past Saint-&Eacute;tienne's 10 titles. But perhaps this season will mostly be remembered for the many low points.
&ldquo;It&rsquo;s not been the best season for PSG," captain Marquinhos said recently.
Coach Christophe Galtier was hired to oversee a new era after bigger-name managers had failed to secure a coveted first Champions League title for the club.
Galtier pledged there would be no favors for star players but he ended up falling short in Europe anyway, and even had to fight for his job at the end of a troubled first season. Galtier is not expected to be in charge for a second campaign.
HOME LOSSES AND ARGUMENTS Parc des Princes was once a fortress for PSG but not this season, as it lost three home games in the league.
Players were jeered off the field after home defeats, including back-to-back losses to Rennes and Lyon without even scoring a goal. Even Lorient, a modest side which finished in 10th place, won 3-1 in Paris.
Rennes beat PSG home and away, while a 3-1 defeat in Monaco saw players Marquinhos and Neymar arguing with sporting director Luis Campos.
Campos was exasperated at the poor showing of the team after it trailed 3-0 at halftime in one of the worst PSG performances since Qatari investors QSI took charge 12 years ago.
&ldquo;There&rsquo;s nothing to hide,&rdquo; Marquinhos said. &ldquo;We&rsquo;ve slacked off at times during games. That sums up the season well.&rdquo; Saint-Etienne won the last of its 10 titles in 1981 when former France great Michel Platini was in the team.
FANS TARGET MESSI When results were going poorly, some of the fans' anger was targeted toward Messi, who was seen to be underperforming after his return from winning the World Cup with Argentina.
And yet it was his goal against Strasbourg that ended up clinching the title, underlining his status once again as arguably the sport's biggest star. It was also Messi's 496th league goal in Europe and broke Cristiano Ronaldo's scoring record for Europe's top five leagues.
But it wasn't long ago that the record seven-time Ballon d'Or winner Messi became a target for fans, and then was briefly suspended by the club for an unapproved trip to Saudi Arabia.
Messi is not expected to take up the option for an extra year on the contract he signed two years ago, and next Saturday's home game against Clermont is expected to be his last. This season, Messi has 16 league goals and 16 assists with one game left.
The club's hard-core ultras even boycotted games after a disagreement with the hierarchy.
They argued that president Nasser Al-Khelaifi, who for long has been perceived as over-protective of PSG's star players, refused to listen to their demands.
Some ultras went too far by protesting outside Brazil star Neymar&rsquo;s residence.
But it symbolized how unhappy many PSG fans became.
RUN OF DEFEATS Unbeaten before the World Cup started in November, PSG has lost nine matches overall in 2023.
&ldquo;A lot of things changed after the World Cup," Marquinhos said. &ldquo;It was very demanding in terms of energy, emotions and we were unable to maintain our level.&rdquo; The rot started on New Year's Day when host Lens played PSG off the field in a 3-1 win that exposed glaring defensive limitations that the team's attack has masked for several years.
PSG was eliminated in the last-16 of the Champions League for the second straight season, losing home and away to Bayern Munich without scoring a goal.
INCONSISTENT RIVALS Galtier's side was knocked out of the French Cup by bitter rival Marseille, and could have lost the league title as well if its challengers had been more consistent.
Marseille won eight straight away games, one short of its own record, but dropped a slew of points at home and let PSG off the hook. PSG lost at home to Brest on Saturday.
Also, Lens dominated at Parc des Princes in April before a clumsy red card gifted PSG the initiative and it won 3-1.
Without goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma and Kylian Mbapp&eacute;, who became PSG&rsquo;s all-time leading scorer and has the most league goals this season, PSG could have lost the title.
Mbapp&eacute; has netted a league-high 28 goals with one game left.
DAMAGED REPUTATION PSG's home losses in the league heaped more pressure on Galtier and dented a well-earned reputation as one France's best coaches.
He led Lille to the title against the odds in 2021 and was unbeaten for Nice in three games against PSG last season, knocking PSG out of the French Cup.
But the fact that he was not even among the five nominees for coach of the season reflected how poorly PSG has played at times this campaign, where it was often rescued by Mbapp&eacute;'s goals.
WHO'S NEXT? Should Galtier leave, his replacement will become PSG&rsquo;s eighth coach under its Qatari ownership.
One name on many people's lips is Jose Mourinho.
The 60-year-old Portuguese has won multiple trophies in a hugely successful coaching career, including the Champions League with unheralded Porto in 2004, and with Inter Milan in 2010 &mdash; toppling then-mighty Barcelona along the way.
He won the Europa Conference League with Roma last year and is through to the Europa League final this season on Wednesday, where he will attempt to win a sixth European trophy.
PSG's won only one: the now-defunct UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in 1996.
Unflinching, outspoken and unafraid to challenge the authority of even his own club directors, Mourinho could be exactly what PSG needs.

Dortmund, which was leading by two points before the last round, was held 2-2 at home by Mainz on Saturday, allowing Bayern to finish in first place because of its better goal difference.

Bundesliga Highlights: Bayern Munich clinch 11th straight title after Dortmund slip up in dramatic final

Here's the highlight, tap to watch

Dortmund, which was leading by two points before the last round, was held 2-2 at home by Mainz on Saturday, allowing Bayern to finish in first place because of its better goal difference.

Jamal Musiala scored in the 89th minute to fire Bayern Munich to the Bundesliga title with a 2-1 victory in Cologne after Borussia Dortmund could only draw on the final day of the season.
Dortmund, which was leading by two points before the last round, was held 2-2 at home by Mainz on Saturday, allowing Bayern to finish in first place because of its better goal difference.
Dortmund needed to win to be sure of ending Bayern's 10-year reign as champion.
It's just the third time Bayern managed to jump to first place on the last day of the season after it edged Werder Bremen to the title in 1986 and Bayer Leverkusen in 2000.
Dortmund fans were celebrating when Cologne's Dejan Ljubicic scored a penalty in the 81st minute against Bayern &ndash; which needed to win &ndash; but Musiala came on as a substitute four minutes later and scored four minutes after that to send the title Bayern's way.
Dortmund had started in pole position, but S&eacute;bastien Haller had a first-half penalty saved after Andreas Hanche-Olsen stunned the home fans by heading in Mainz's opening goal in the 15th minute.
Karim Onisiwo then got Mainz's second goal in the 24th with another header and the visitors looked capable of scoring more against the mistake-prone Dortmund defense. There was nothing but pride at stake for Mainz.
Rapha&euml;l Guerreiro pulled one back in the 69th for Dortmund, but by the time Niklas S&uuml;le equalized in the sixth minute of injury time, it was far too late for the &ldquo;black and yellows.&rdquo; Rani Khedira fired Union Berlin into the Champions League with a late winner over Werder Bremen for 1-0. Union finished fourth, ahead of Freiburg, which lost 2-1 at Eintracht Frankfurt.
Schalke was relegated after a 4-2 loss at Leipzig, and Stuttgart will contest the relegation/promotion playoff against the team that finishes third in the second division. Stuttgart drew with Hoffenheim 1-1.
Bochum secured survival with a 3-0 win over 10-man Bayer Leverkusen.

Shah said that the future of the 2023 edition will be decided after a meeting with the ACC members and the Associate nations.

The schedule and venues for the upcoming 50-over World Cup in India are expected to be announced during the final of the World Test Championship in London, BCCI secretary Jay Shah said on Saturday after the board's Special General Meeting (SGM) here.
A decision on the Asia Cup 2023, to be held before the World Cup, will also be taken in the coming days as representatives of some of the Asian Cricket Council members are here for the IPL final, to be played on Sunday between Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans.
"The venues for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 will be decided at a press conference during the ICC World Test Championship Final. The complete schedule for the tournament will also be revealed," Shah said.
"The future of the Asia Cup 2023 will be decided once we have a meeting with the ACC members (Test playing nations) and the Associate nations," Shah added.
The BCCI secretary informed that 15 stadiums have been shortlisted for improvement in basic facilities for the fans, keeping them in mind and more stadiums will be added at a later stage. Grant Thornton has been given the task for this purpose.
The BCCI will also be announcing specific committees in a week's time, which will handle the 2023 World Cup in India and the Women's Premier League, along with a committee to draft the POSH (Prevention of Sexual Harassment) policy.
Shah informed, "As far as the venues for the ICC Cricket World Cup are concerned, each office-bearer will be responsible for each venue. We are looking at all the metros as venues for the tournament." "We will create a committee to structure the POSH policy. The draft is ready, it will be presented before the AGM for ratification and necessary approvals," he added.
Additionally, the proposed limited-overs series between India and Afghanistan will be held before the World Cup, but the dates and venues are yet to be worked out.
Shah added that the impact player rule in this IPL has been appreciated by all teams and players, which has resulted in a record number of totals in excess of 200, with the boundaries and sixes also crossing the 1,000 and 2,000-mark.

PV Sindhu couldn't showcase her aggressive game against Indonesia's Gregoria Mariska Tunjung as she faced defeat in the semi finals of the Malaysia Masters

Star Indian shuttler HS Prannoy entered the men's singles final of the Malaysia Masters after his opponent Christian Adinata of Indonesia conceded the semifinal match following a nasty knee injury on Saturday.
World number 9 Prannoy was leading 19-17 when Adinata lost his footing while landing after a jump return and his left knee buckled, leaving the Indonesian shuttler grimacing in pain.
The 21-year-old Adinata, a 2019 World Junior Championships winner, was quickly attended by Prannoy and the Indonesian coach before being eventually wheeled out of the court.
Prannoy will now take on the winner of the other semifinal match between China's Weng Hong Yang and Chinese Taipei's Lin Chun-Yi in the final on Sunday.
It will be Prannoy's first final of the season and second since the runner-up finish at the Swiss Open last year.
Double Olympic medallist P V Sindhu, however, couldn't make it to the women's singles finals after suffering a 14-21 17-21 loss to Indonesia's Gregoria Mariska Tunjung.
It was a second successive loss for Sindhu following seven wins against the tricky world number 9 Indonesian.
It was a one-way traffic for Prannoy, who was off to a flying start, leading 11-1 in a jiffy. However after the break, it was Aditana, who accumulated points in buckets, taking seven of the next nine points.
A jump cross court smash helped Prannoy find his confidence back but unforced errors and Adinata also playing some smart shots saw the Indonesian making it 10-14.
Adinata was quick in his returns and played a few cross court winners and a body smash. An on-the-line return on the backline saw him make it 14-15 before he drew parity at 16-16 when Prannoy went wide again.
Prannoy dominated the short exchanges next to lead 19-17 before the match ended abruptly following the injury to Adinata.
Sindhu finds Tunjung too hot to handle. A two-time former winner here, Sindhu couldn't play her aggressive game with Tunjung managing to keep control of the rallies with her solid defence and produce her tricky strokes to finish points.
The Indian took a 3-0 lead early on but it soon evaporated with Tunjung producing some exquisite shots to turn the tables.
The Indonesian tried to drag Sindhu from corner to corner to lead 6-4. But she hit wide and Sindhu also hit a delectable reverse slice to make it 6-6.
Tunjung tried to mix her strokes to keep Sindhu guessing but the Indian defended well to hold her fort, moving to 9-7. She entered the break at 11-8 with a straight smash and a body return.
However, things changed after the change of sides. A flat forehand punch clear helped Tunjung draw parity before she quickly moved to 15-12 with a series of attacking returns.
Another straight smash from Tunjung was followed by a winner from Sindhu but the Indonesian held the momentum with some attacking winners. Tunjung grabbed six game points with Sindhu finding the net and she converted it with another winner.
The second game started on an even keel before Tunjung suffered an injury on his forehand at 5-5. But it had no affect on the Indonesian, who kept things under control to enter the break with a 11-9 cushion.
Coach Vidhi Chaudhary kept motivating Sindhu but it didn't have much affect on the Indian as Tunjung continued to make life difficult for her.
The Indonesian looked a bit tired and made some errors but she didn't allow the match slip away.
She soon grabbed six match points after Sindhu erred again. The Indian saved three with two cross court returns. However, Sindhu missed the net shot after another engrossing rally to sign off at the semifinal stage.

KL Rahul all set to continue his IPL domination with Lucknow Super Giants

Only once in the past 5 years, Rahul failed to breach the 600-run mark.

KL Rahul - One of the most consistent performers in IPL history. The Lucknow Super Giants captain has been a powerhouse of runs in the IPL.&nbsp; His numbers in the last 5 seasons are nothing short of extraordinary.
Only once in the past 5 years, Rahul failed to breach the 600-run mark, in 2019, and even then he had only missed out by just 7 runs. He was the highest run-scorer for LSG last season with 616 runs, scoring 2 hundreds and 4 fifties. And 2023 should be no different. The Super Giants will be hoping for another big season from their captain. Rahul will also have a point to prove to his detractors and going by his form in the IPL in recent years, get ready for another KL masterclass.

Delhi Police said the wrestlers were detained for breaking their security cordon and that they will take legal action against them after an inquiry.

<h2>Delhi Police said the wrestlers were detained for breaking their security cordon and that they will take legal action against them after an inquiry.</h2>

There was chaos at Delhi's Jantar Mantar after a <a href="https://www.editorji.com/sports-news/wrestlers-sakshi-malik-sangeeta-vinesh-phogat-detained-by-police-in-delhi-1685255980235">scuffle broke out between wrestlers &amp; police officers</a>, who were captured on camera pushing and shoving each other.
The police officials were also captured clearing the protest site at Jantar Mantar, where the wrestlers had been staying since they resumed their protest against former WFI Chief Brijbhushan Sharan Singh on April 23.
The security at Jantar Mantar had already been beefed up following the wrestlers' call to hold a Women's Mahapanchayat in front of the new Parliament building, which was inaugurated by PM Modi on Sunday. The cops had also previously stated that they will not allow the protestors to disrupt the event at any cost as no permission had been granted to them.
The cops also said the grapplers have been detained for violating law and order since they breached their security cordon &amp; broke through the barriers while trying to march toward the new Parliament building.
According to Special CP (Law &amp; Order) Dependra Pathak, the cops will take legal action after an inquiry.

In the present hour, cricket enthusiasts must gather their emotions to bid farewell once more to the beloved Mahendra Singh Dhoni. At least, that is the path ahead.
 

MS Dhoni: CSK captain's Top 5 knocks in IPL history

What makes MS Dhoni one of the most revered and loved cricketers across the globe? 

Is it his captaincy or is it his skill to take his team over the finish line? Or perhaps both. 

Watch to know more! 

In the present hour, cricket enthusiasts must gather their emotions to bid farewell once more to the beloved Mahendra Singh Dhoni. At least, that is the path ahead.

'Main pal do pal ka shayar hoon&hellip;' resonates deeply within our hearts, doesn't it?
The world stood witness, three years ago, as a cricketing icon gracefully retreated to the shadows of the game. In the present hour, cricket enthusiasts wait with bated breath as the beloved Mahendra Singh Dhoni enters the last phase of his iconic career. At least, that is the path ahead.
The legendary maestro has forever kept the cricketing realm enthralled, ever uncertain of his next move. Is IPL 2023 to be his swansong? Shall MSD grace the field in the years that lie ahead? Alas, the answers elude us, but gratitude fills our souls. Since 2008, Dhoni has graced the field for the Chennai Super Kings over 200 times, while representing the Rising Pune Supergiant as well for a couple of seasons. As captain, he ascended to the zenith of leadership, guiding the Chennai Super Kings to four illustrious titles, the most recent in 2021, evoking eternal respect. Yet, it is his presence as a dependable lower-order batter that has solidified his place among the pantheon of cricketing legends, showcasing time and again why he is hailed as one of the greatest finishers of the game. Even in IPL 2023, Dhoni strode purposefully to the crease during an enthralling clash against the Delhi Capitals. As the first innings drew to a close, his willow wielded a 9-ball-20, a knock so very crucial for his side.
Across more than 240 IPL encounters, Dhoni scored more than 5000 runs&mdash;an extraordinary feat for a lower-order maestro. With 24 half-centuries, adorned with over 300 fours and an awe-inspiring tally surpassing 230 sixes, he has made a fan out of almost everyone who follows this game.
Following his all-important knock against the Delhi Capitals, Dhoni humbly stated, 'My job is to hit a few deliveries. Don't make me run a lot.' Even then, in our hearts, we know Dhoni to be synonymous with scorching knocks that have often carried his team across the finish line, even if by the narrowest of margins. Yet, his greatest IPL innings concluded amidst the clutches of defeat. But even then, we will remember MSD for when he was at the crease, anything was possible.
Here's looking back at his best knocks in the history of IPL.&nbsp;
 84* vs RCB in 2019 Chennai Super Kings were given a target of 162 by hosts Royal Challengers Bangalore and were reduced to 83/5. In walked MSD, going full throttle on the Bangalore bowlers.
 He hit an incredible 48-ball-84, his highest ever in the Indian Premier League, including 24 runs off just 5 deliveries in the final over. But alas, the visitors fell short by just 1 run and Dhoni remained unbeaten in a game where he gave it all yet lost.
 79* vs KXIP in 2018 His second-highest score ever too was in a losing cause versus the then Kings XI Punjab. CSK were chasing 198 and were caught in a struggle at 56/3 when Dhoni took to the crease in the 7th over. There was no looking back for MS then. In just 44 balls, Dhoni had hit 6 fours and 5 sixes to reach 79, including a 16-run penultimate over. But it was not enough, and CSK lost the match by 5 runs. However, not all of Dhoni&rsquo;s knocks have been in vain.
 75* vs RR in 2019 Playing at Chepauk vs the Rajasthan Royals, CSK had been asked to bat first. In a surprise move, MS had walked in at number 4 when the hosts had been reduced to 22/2 before the powerplay was over.
 Dhoni had led the charge, scoring an unbeaten 75 in 46 balls with 4 fours and as many sixes. In the last 18 balls of the innings, Chennai Super Kings had hit the Rajasthan bowlers for 60 runs, most of which were by Dhoni. The hosts had managed to put up 175 on the board, winning the match by 8 runs. Dhoni was adjudged Player of the Match, no questions asked. 70* vs RCB in 2018 This knock by Dhoni can perhaps be regarded as one of the best comebacks by a team, also showing why MSD is one of the most reliable batters cricket has ever gotten.
 Chasing a mammoth 205, Dhoni&rsquo;s team was reduced to 74/4 at the end of the 9th over. The skipper came in, turning the game around in just 10 overs to take the visitors over the finish line with two balls to spare. Once more, Dhoni remained unbeaten at 70* in half the deliveries.
 51* vs MI in 2012 Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings are arguably the two best teams in the history of IPL with 9 titles combined.
 Facing off in the 2012 eliminator, Chennai had put up a total of 187 for Mumbai to chase. But getting to the defendable 187 was not easy for CSK till Dhoni took the matter in his own hands. Chennai had not crossed the 3-digit mark until the 14th over. That is when the skipper had arrived. In the next six overs, Dhoni starred with the bat at an incredible strike rate of 255 and played a valiant knock of 51* in just 20 balls. CSK would eventually win the game by 38 runs. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
 Majority of the knocks Dhoni has played, he has remained unbeaten, even when he came in to bat higher up the order, a testimony of his reliable game.
 Cricket is shrouded in uncertainty over MS Dhoni&rsquo;s retirement, however each passing day brings fans closer to the moment when we will bid him adieu.
 &lsquo;Mujhse pehle kitne shayar aaye aur aakar chalein gaye&hellip;Woh bhi ek pal ka kissa the, main bhi ek pal ka kissa hu,&rsquo; Mukesh had sung in Pal Do Pal Ka Shayar.
 But, for cricket, Mahendra Singh Dhoni is more than just a moment in time.

<h2>Protesting wrestlers were detained and dragged into buses by the Delhi Police.</h2>

Wrestlers Sakshi Malik, Sangeeta Phogat and Vinesh Phogat were detained by Delhi police on Sunday afternoon during their protest march to the newly-inaugurated Parliament building. Several visuals showed the protesting grapplers being dragged into police buses one after the other. Olympic bronze medallist Sakshi Malik was also captured talking to the reporters from the window of the bus. The wrestlers were on their way to the new Parliament building for their Women&rsquo;s Mahapanchayat that was scheduled for Sunday. However, they were stopped by cops midway and their supporters were detained.
Vinesh Phogat, who spoke to the media gathered at the protest site, had earlier said, &lsquo;We just want to carry out a peaceful protest. We have not broken any (police) barricades nor do we intend to. Our protest is peaceful." Meanwhile, Delhi Police had made a prior statement where they had said that they will not let anything hamper the inauguration of the new Parliament building, not even the wrestlers&rsquo; protest.

Al-Nassr&rsquo;s 1-1 draw with Ettifaq meant that Al-Ittihad&rsquo;s 3-0 win at Al-Feiha gave the team from Jeddah a five-point lead with one game remaining and its first league title since 2009.

Cristiano Ronaldo&rsquo;s first season in Saudi Arabia will end without a trophy as his Al-Nassr team was beaten to the league title by Al-Ittihad in the penultimate round on Saturday.
Ronaldo arrived in Riyadh in January after being released from his contract by English Premier League powerhouse Manchester United and had to settle for second place in the 16-team Saudi Arabian league.
Al-Nassr&rsquo;s 1-1 draw with Ettifaq meant that Al-Ittihad&rsquo;s 3-0 win at Al-Feiha gave the team from Jeddah a five-point lead with one game remaining and its first league title since 2009.
Al-Nassr dominated in the eastern city of Dammam but fell behind just before the break as Youssef Niakate scored for Ettifaq from close range. A fierce shot from ex-Bayern Munich midfielder Luiz Gustavo leveled for Al-Nassr after 56 minutes.
Ronaldo has scored 14 goals in 16 league games since making his debut in January, but could not get a winner this time and Gustavo had a second-half strike ruled out for offside with 10 minutes remaining.
Al-Ittihad won easily thanks to two goals from Brazilian forward Romarinho as well as a third-minute strike from Ahmed Sharahili. The team, which is led by former Wolverhampton and Tottenham manager Nuno Espirito Santo, secured its ninth league title overall.
"I want to thank the players and the fans for their support this season and everyone has worked very hard from the beginning,&rdquo; Santo said. &ldquo;The early goal was very important and after we scored then we settled down." Defending champion Al-Hilal moved into third place with a 3-0 win at Abha.

They are inaugurating the new Parliament building but murdering democracy- Bajrang Punia

On the day of the opening of the new Parliament building, Bajrang Punia slammed the government while requesting the police to release the detained supporters.

After members of the Punjab Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh committee were stopped from reaching the protest site on the day of the opening of the new Parliament, Bajrang Punia slammed the government while requesting the police to release the detained supporters.
The Olympic bronze medallist stated, "Mahapanchayat will certainly be held today. We're fighting for our self-respect. They're inaugurating the new Parliament building today, but murdering democracy in the country. We appeal to the administration to release our people detained by police."
The agitating wrestlers, demanding the arrest of former Wrestling Federation of India president Brij Bhushan Singh who they alleged, had sexually harassed several women grapplers, had given a call for a Mahila Mahapanchayat today, the day the new Parliament building is being inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
