PSG vs Auxerre:

Luis Enrique and his players ended their season on a high note with a 3-1 home victory against tenth-placed Auxerre.

Though Paris Saint-Germain controlled the ball, the French champions came up against a well-organised Auxerre side as both teams failed to create clear cut chances in the first 25 minutes of the game.

However, Sinayoko fired the visitors ahead after a cleverly taken free-kick that sent Auxerre's number nine in one versus one against Donnarumma (30'). Less than five minutes later, Nuno Mendes' free-kick hit Leon's post, keeping the visitors in the lead.

Both sides went into the halftime break as Luis Enrique's team became increasingly more dangerous, as they are looking to end the season on a high note.

At the half hour mark, Kvaratskhelia put PSG level with Auxerre with a remarkable long range effort that left Leon powerless as the Georgia international recorded his fifth goal since joining the club (59'). Following a corner, club captain, Marquinhos completed the turnaround as he gave the lead to his side with a close range header (67').

After a foul on Nuno Mendes in the box, substitute Gonçalo Ramos was denied by Leon from the spot by Leon, keeping the visitors in the game (78'). In the dying minutes of the game, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia sealed PSG's win as he netted his second goal of the night (88').

Up next, Luis Enrique and his players will face Stade de Reims in the Coupe de France final on May 24 at the Stade de France.
