Ligue 1: PSG stops against Le Havre, just before Dortmund | TV5MONDE

Paris Saint-Germain stopped Saturday against Le Havre (3-3) after equalizing at the very end of the game, delaying their title as French champions four days before the first leg of the semi-final in the Champions League against Dortmund.

The party will have to wait a bit: a win would have crowned them champions on Saturday night and would have launched them calmly towards the first round of the last four of C1 in Germany on Wednesday (21:00).

But Luis Enrique’s men made the task more complicated and did not show the confidence they had hoped for, even if they showed character, ahead of the double European confrontation on Wednesday and May 7. Their future opponents, Dortmund, were soundly beaten earlier in the afternoon (4-1) by Leipzig.

With 70 points, this draw against the promoted force forces the Parisians to await the result of their second-placed Monaco, who face Olympique on Sunday (19:00).

If they lose to the Monegasques, PSG will be able to celebrate their 12th French championship title on Sunday evening, otherwise it will have to wait until the 32nd day and the match against Toulouse on 12 May.

“We are champions, without a doubt More than 29 goals difference, we are champions,” Luis Enrique confirmed after the match. “There are still two titles to go for, the Champions League and the Coupe de France, we will try to go for them,” he added, believing his team to be ready for Dortmund.

The capital club, which was left with a simple victory in Lorient on Wednesday (4-1) and against Lyon last Sunday (4-1), grabbed a draw at the very end of the game thanks to Gonçalo Ramos (3-3, 90) +5), which avoided the first Parisian defeat in Ligue 1 since September

The Parisian heads already seemed well turned towards Dortmund, lacked too much concentration and the players created too few chances.

Paris, who monopolized the ball without being too dangerous, were surprised by the sturdy Normans at the back and effective up front.

the Parisian defense again showed many shortcomings and was too easily pierced, especially due to Lucas Berlado and Danilo, too slow and passive on the first two Le Havre goals.

Alone on the left, Christopher Opéri didn’t bother to set up Kaylor Navas with a cross (1-0, 19th), while ex-Marseillais André Ayew easily got rid of Danilo before following up perfectly (2-1, 38th).

Mbappé discrete, Ramos decisive

Danilo is also responsible for the third because he caused the penalty, converted by Abdoulaye Touré (3-1, 61.), due to an unnecessary error on Loïc Nego in his area.

Fans of turnover in Ligue 1, especially with the decisive matches that follow each other, Luis Enrique, in the fight for a Championship – Cup – Champions League treble, will certainly not put them on Wednesday, preferring Nuno Mendes and Lucas Hernandez, on rest Saturday just like Donnarumma and Fabian Ruiz.

The Parisians had equalized for the first time (1-1, 29th) after a recovery from Warren Zaire-Emery, author of a decisive pass to celebrate his extension in Paris until 2029 against Bradley Barcola, who scored his third goal in L1 this season .

They then reduced the gap after good work from Gonçalo Ramos in the middle, who served Achraf Hakimi (3-2, 78.).

The Portuguese centre-forward, who had missed an equalizer a few minutes later in front of goalkeeper Arthur Desmas, seized the match with an angry and precise header, bringing Parc to its feet.

Back on the hour mark, Ramos is very fit at the moment without starting in the big games, was ultra decisive, then fit goalscorer, real “super sub”.

The centre-forward was more visible than Kylian Mbappé, who came on at half-time and was very discreet on the left in his penultimate Ligue 1 game at the Parc. As for Randal Kolo Muani, set up, the French international once again came through the match.

Thanks to this draw, Le Havre, who had lost eight of their last ten matches, are no longer in the play-offs and have temporarily moved up to 15th place (31 points).
