Led 3-1 by Le Havre, the Parisians avoided defeat thanks to a goal in stoppage time on Saturday April 27. But this draw delays their coronation and questions just four days before the semi-final first leg of the Champions League in Dortmund. 

Paris Saint-Germain, who equalized at the very end of the match, stalled on Saturday against Le Havre (3-3), delaying their title of French champion five days before the half -Champions League final first leg against Dortmund.

A victory would have crowned them champions on Saturday evening and would have launched them calmly towards the first round of the last four of C1 in Germany on Wednesday. But Luis Enrique's men made their task more complicated and did not have the confidence they had hoped for, even though they showed character, before the double European confrontation, Wednesday and May 7. Their future opponent, Dortmund, was soundly beaten on Saturday (4-1) by Leipzig.

Sacred Sunday evening ?

This draw against the promoted force forces the Parisians to wait for the result of their runner-up Monaco who faces OL on Sunday. In the event of a defeat or draw for the Monegasques, PSG will be able to celebrate their 12th French championship title, otherwise it will be necessary to wait until the 32nd day and the match against Toulouse, on May 12.

The capital club, which remained on an easy victory in Lorient on Wednesday (4-1) and against Lyon last Sunday (4-1), snatched a draw at the very end of the match thanks to Gonçalo Ramos (3-3, 90+5). The Parisians, already turned towards Dortmund and too little concentrated in defense, delayed the celebration in the championship. Paris, who monopolized the ball, turned without being too dangerous, and were completely surprised by the solid Normans behind and efficient in front.

On the PSG side, the defense again showed many gaps and was pierced too easily, in particular because of Lucas Berlado and Danilo, too slow and passive on the first two Le Havre goals. Lonely on the left, Christopher Opéri was not bothered to adjust Kaylor Navas with a cross shot (1-0, 19th), while ex-Marseillais André Ayew easily got away rid of Danilo with a hook before following up perfectly with a powerful shot (2-1, 38th).

Mbappé, back at half-time and discreet

Danilo is also responsible for the third because he caused the penalty because of an unnecessary foul on Loïc Nego in his area. The penalty was converted by Abdoulaye Touré (3-1, 61st).

The Parisians had equalized (1-1, 29th) following a recovery by Warren Zaire-Emery, author of a decisive pass to celebrate his extension in Paris until&rsquo ;in 2029 towards Bradley Barcola, who scored his 3rd goal in L1 this season. They reduced the gap following good work from Gonçalo Ramos in the middle, who served Achraf Hakimi (3-2, 78th). The Portuguese center forward, who had missed an equalizing ball a few minutes later in front of goalkeeper Arthur Desmas, equalized with a powerful and well-placed header, lifting the Parc.

Kylian Mbappé, returned at half-time and very discreet on his left side for his penultimate in Ligue 1 at the Parc, fought at the end of the match but did not win not been decisive. Thanks to this success, Le Havre, who had lost eight of their last ten matches, are no longer play-offs and have temporarily moved up to 15th place (31 points).
