A team that has netted 104 goals in a single league season - with a game still left to play - deserves to be champions. With the help of a young, fearless attack paired with a seasoned goalscorer, AS Monaco ended Paris Saint-Germain's Ligue 1 trophy winning streak at four.
The only challenge for Monaco is now going to be holding onto their striking wonder kid, Kylian Mbappe. The 18-year-old doesn't show any sign of facial hair, but he should have a full beard considering his skill level and confidence. Mbappe showed world-class composure opening the score sheet in the 19th minute and making a fool of the St Etienne goalkeeper.

In the words of Bob Dylan, the times they are a changin. If Monaco are able to keep Mbappe, PSG will have to accept that they are no longer the giant of French football.
