Lens have surprised me more than any other team this Ligue 1 season. They played very well all season and finished in second place, just one point behind PSG. That is, they could have been winners if it wasn't for a few upsetting losses. This season was a nervous one for PSG, but they still managed to win first place.

Your views on Lens are in line with my thoughts which I had conveyed yesterday in response to one of the posts.

Lens are a surprising team in Ligue 1.
Apart from the results in the last match against Auxerre which made Auxerre have to be relegated because he was defeated by Lens behind the hopes of surviving in Ligue 1.

25 wins, 4 losses and 9 draws in 38 matches are the extraordinary results achieved by Lens including being able to make 68 goals.
As we all know, Lens is not a club that has well-known players registered in the squad like PSG, but they were able to occupy second place in the final standings with 84 points, only 1 point different from PSG as the Ligue 1 champions this season.

In addition, Lens is a club that has frequently gone up and down from Ligue 2 to Ligue 1 since the 2010/2011 season and for this season's achievements they will automatically compete in the UEFA Champions League next season.

Lens has indeed become a pretty fantastic team this season because they were able to finish second in the standings.
Only luck was not on their side
Their total wins (Lens) 25 out of 38 matches. While Barcelona 27 total wins out of 38.
Very close difference.
