In the 31st round of the French Ligue 1, PSG hosted the modest Havre at their home ground, with the latter battling to avoid relegation. A victory for the Parisians would have crowned them as the champions of France prematurely.

The game didn't start as the hosts had hoped, as they quickly conceded a goal: a precise strike by Christopher Operi. Ten minutes later, Paris equalized when Warren Zaire-Emery's pass was capitalized on by Bradley Barcola. However, the guests still went into halftime leading the score. An outstanding strike by Andre Ayew extended their lead.

From the early minutes of the second half, Kylian Mbappé appeared on the field, tasked with turning the situation around. The forward added sharpness in front of the opponents' goal. However, PSG conceded a penalty and let in another goal. Efforts by Hakimi allowed the hosts to score another goal, and a precise strike by Gonçalo Ramos enabled the Parisians to avoid defeat just moments before the final whistle. Thus, the celebration of the championship title is postponed until the next match.
PSG — Havre — 3:3
Goals: Barcola 29, Hakimi 78, Ramos 90+5 — Operi 19, Ayew 38, Toure 61 (penalty).
