Paris St. Germain’s hopes of clinching their 12th Ligue 1 title were put on hold as they were held to a thrilling 3-3 draw at home to relegation-threatened Le Havre. The result means PSG will have to wait before confirming their title win, with a 12-point lead over second-placed AS Monaco.
Le Havre shocked the home side by taking the lead in the 19th minute through Christopher Operi, but PSG quickly responded with Bradley Barcola equalizing. However, Le Havre regained the lead before halftime with Andre Ayew finding the net. The away side extended their lead to 3-1 with a penalty from Abdoulaye Toure, before PSG mounted a late comeback with goals from Achraf Hakimi and Goncalo Ramos to salvage a point.
Despite PSG’s dominance early on, Le Havre’s resilience and clinical finishing kept them in the game. PSG manager Luis Enrique made changes at halftime, bringing on star player Kylian Mbappe among others, but they were unable to find a winner in the end.
The draw sets up an exciting finish to the Ligue 1 season, with PSG still needing points to secure the title. The result also serves as a warning to PSG ahead of their Champions League semi-final clash with Borussia Dortmund, as they will need to be at their best to progress in the competition.
