PSG, the cold shower

The capital club will not be crowned champion of France this Saturday evening, due to its draw (3-3) against Le Havre.

This Saturday evening, Paris Saint-Germain hosted Le Havre for the 31st day of Ligue 1. Under heavy rain, the Parc des Princes took a real cold shower in the twentieth minute of play. Launched by Sabi, Opéri opened the scoring with a cross shot from the left which was going to lodge in the small net of Navas. However, Luis Enrique’s men were quick to react. Well served by Zaire-Emery, Barcola equalized with a close shot at the far post (1-1, 29th).

In one of the rare sequences of Le Havre possession, André Ayew gave the Normans the advantage again. The former Olympique de Marseille player shifted his left foot and saw his shot deflected by Danilo (1-2, 38th). Extremely realistic, Luka Eslner’s men returned to the locker room, in torrential rain, with a one-goal lead on the scoreboard.

Luis Enrique changes everything!

For the second half, Luis Enrique made a triple change. Mbappé, Mayulu and Kang-in Lee came into play, respectively in place of Asensio, Barcola and Dembélé. The shower became freezing at the hour mark for the Parisians. Following a foul by Danilo on Nego, the referee designated the penalty spot after consulting the VAR. Abdoulaye Touré took Navas on the wrong foot to transform the sentence (1-3, 61st).

The PSG coach decided to make his last two changes just after the Le Havre break. Gonçalo Ramos and Skriniar replaced Kolo Muani and Marquinhos. The Portuguese center forward did a lot of work to launch Hakimi deep. The Moroccan international deceived Desmas with the flat of his foot to reduce the score (2-3, 77th). Gonçalo Ramos equalized in added time with a powerful header (90th+5).

With this draw (3-3), Le Havre delays the twelfth Parisian coronation in Ligue 1. However, it could be official on Sunday evening, in the event of a sharing of points between Olympique Lyonnais and AS Monaco. As for the Normans, they got out of the relegation zone, moving up to fifteenth place, with the same number of points but a better goal difference than the play-off from Metz.
