On 23 May 2021, with a win over Angers on the final day of the season, Lille were crowned league champions.[1] The achievement was very surprising and was considered an upset, as Paris Saint-Germain had always been the favourites to win Ligue 1 for the fourth time in a row. It was Lille's fourth top-flight title in the professional era and their first since 2010–11, when Eden Hazard was named the competition's player of the year.[2] Lille's points tally of 83 was the best in their history and they only lost three matches all season.[2]
