Lille’s players and fans took to the streets on Sunday to celebrate the club’s first Ligue 1 title for 57 years.

An open-top bus paraded through the city centre followed by thousands of jubilant supporters.

The Lille players themselves led the festivities, after Saturday’s draw at Paris Saint-Germain saw them crowned champions for the first time since 1954.

And having beaten PSG to win the French Cup just a week earlier, the double-winners were keen to show off their silverware.

Lille welcome Rennes to the Stadium Nord Lille Metropole on the final day of the season on Sunday, where a similar party atmosphere is expected.
