Last season's magical conclusion was not to be repeated, and PSG successfully avoided failing to translate their financial power into trophies. Under Carlo Ancelotti's leadership, the team secured their first league title in 21 years with two games left, outpacing Marseille in the process. L'OM also had a surprisingly strong season, reclaiming a spot in the Champions League after a year's absence. Lyon secured the final Champions League spot by defeating high-flying Nice. Meanwhile, Montpellier dropped to 9th place, and Nancy, Troyes, and Brest were relegated. Following a setback in the 2011-12 season, PSG significantly increased their transfer spending to ensure future success. Notable signings included Thiago Silva and Zlatan Ibrahimovic from Serie A, along with Ezequiel Lavezzi, Marco Verratti, Gregory van der Wiel, Lucas Moura, and David Beckham. Other major clubs in Ligue 1 sold their talent, with Eden Hazard leaving Lille for Chelsea. PSG overcame a challenging start to the season to claim the title, while Marseille finished second with a string of 1-0 wins. Zlatan Ibrahimovic was named Player of the Season after leading PSG to the title with 29 goals, and the Manager of the Season award was shared between Carlo Ancelotti and Christophe Galtier. Additionally, Florian Thauvin was recognized as the Young Player of the Season, and Ibrahimovic finished as the league's top scorer with 29 goals. Thiago Silva's move from AC Milan to PSG was the most expensive transfer of the season. The key moment of the season was PSG's victory over Lyon, securing the title with two games to spare.
