The result meant that PSG would have to wait for another matchday to seal the trophy, as Le Havre’s resilient performance denied them victory once again.
However, if Monaco drops any point in their match on Sunday, PSG will be confirmed champions of the 2023/24 Ligue 1 season with three games to spare. Meanwhile, the French champions will just need a point in their remaining games to retain the title if Monaco keep winning.
