PSG DEFEATS LE HAVRE TO REASSERT DOMINANCE OVER THE TABLE
PSG reclaims the Ligue 1 summit with a 3-0 win over Le Havre, extending their unbeaten run to eight games. Goals from Lee Kang-In, Joao Neves, and Bradley Barcola sealed the victory at the Parc des Princes.

Paris Saint-Germain has maintained its unbeaten streak in Ligue 1, now at eight matches (five victories and three draws), and has reclaimed the lead in the standings following a decisive 3-0 victory against a determined Le Havre AC at the Parc des Princes.
Before the international break, Luis Enrique's team faced mounting criticism due to a stretch of lacklustre performances that cast doubt on their status as the clear favourites for the championship.
Initially, PSG struggled to establish dominance, requiring Lucas Chevalier to execute a remarkable save to deny Simon Ebonog from converting Issa Soumare’s cross.
However, with just a minute left before the half-hour mark, the home side took the lead when Nuno Mendes delivered a cross from the left that found Lee Kang-In, who managed to score with a left-footed shot that slipped past a scrambling Mory Diaw at the near post.
Ibrahim Mbaye likely felt frustrated after missing a chance to increase their lead, firing over the bar from a cut-back by Mendes, but Le Havre headed into halftime with a sense of optimism.
Le Club Doyen nearly equalised when Ayumu Seko’s ambitious attempt just missed the crossbar, coming right after Chevalier had denied Yassine Kechta at his near post.
PSG had a chance to extend their lead soon after the second half began as Senny Mayulu surged toward the goal, yet he sent his left-footed shot wide.
Fans anticipating a barrage of goal-scoring chances for Enrique’s team were left wanting, as Didier Digard's squad nearly executed a counterattack. Chevalier had to once again leap into action, deflecting a free kick from Yanis Zouaoui, a reminder that the match remained finely balanced.
Looking to create some separation, the reigning champions succeeded in the 65th minute thanks to Joao Neves. The Portuguese midfielder scored by slotting a loose ball in off the post after Bradley Barcola was thwarted twice in quick succession by Diaw and the Le Havre defence. Warren Zaire-Emery's precise through ball set up this goal, seemingly sealing the win.
Refusing to give up, the visitors pushed forward and came close to reducing the deficit when Soumare’s powerful shot struck the post. This seemed to awaken PSG, who then sought to capitalise on their advantage, but Mendes failed to finish off a cross from Zaire-Emery, shooting over.
There was still time for Enrique’s men to add a third goal, as Barcola skillfully timed his run to receive a pass from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia before coolly slotting it past Diaw.
This result reinstates PSG's two-point lead at the top of the league table, while Le Havre ends the weekend in 12th position, witnessing the end of their four-match unbeaten streak in the league.
PARIS DERBY: ANALYZING HOW PSG NARROWLY DEFEATED A RESILIENT, NEW-LOOK PARIS FC SIDE
PSG edge Paris FC 2-1 in a historic Ligue 1 derby. Explore the Arnault-Red Bull takeover, stadium drama, and the 2026 rematch.
Paris Saint-Germain had a chance to send a message in the first of two Paris derbies in just over a week, squaring off against their ambitious neighbours. Inside the Parc des Princes, a massive tifo declared “Paris c’est nous”—a phrase that nodded to the clubs’ tangled past but also served as a reminder: this rivalry has always been a bit one-sided.
For a brief stretch in the seventies, PSG and Paris FC were one club. PSG came out of a merger between Stade Saint-Germain and Paris FC back in 1970. It didn’t last. Paris FC split off a few years later, and while PSG racked up trophies, Paris FC faded into the background, bouncing around the lower leagues. Only recently, after new owners like the Arnault family and Red Bull stepped in, did they start to make regular appearances in Ligue 2.
The women’s teams keep the rivalry alive—both Paris clubs actually give Lyon’s powerhouse a run for its money. But on the men’s side, things are different. These two hadn’t met in Ligue 1 for 48 years, so any real rivalry needs to start from scratch.
Honestly, from PSG’s point of view, it’s tough to get worked up about a club that isn’t even trying to compete. Paris FC’s whole message has been about complementing, not challenging, the European champs. There’s a clear sense of respect, maybe even a bit of awe. “They’re on a different planet,” admitted Paris FC president Pierre Ferracci—who, by the way, used to have a PSG season ticket.
“There’s room for two clubs in Paris, for two stories that could be complementary,” said Antoine Arnault, Paris FC’s owner and an open PSG supporter, during a press conference last year. Since 2022, Paris FC have even had PSG legend Raí as an ambassador—though he still spends plenty of time at the Parc des Princes. As the newly-promoted side tries to grow its own following, it might have to carve out more distance from PSG down the line.
On the pitch, there’s not much drama yet. Paris FC, despite their wealthy backers, have played it safe in the transfer market, so PSG’s dominance isn’t under real threat. Paris FC are nearby, both in terms of geography and market, but right now, they’re not shaking up the balance of power in Paris.
Paris FC’s summer move to the Stade Jean-Bouin—just a stone’s throw from the Parc des Princes—looked like it could create some tension. It’s definitely an upgrade from Stade Charléty, which has an athletics track and offers little room to grow.
Still, the clubs get along, at least at the top. PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi flew in to meet with Antoine Arnault and the Paris FC brass before the match. Jürgen Klopp, representing minority investors Red Bull, showed up too.
That “Paris c’est nous” tifo also ties in with PSG’s ongoing battle with city officials over buying the Parc des Princes. PSG have even scouted out possible new stadium sites outside Paris, but most fans hate the idea of leaving their home of 52 years.
The upcoming mayoral elections could shake things up. Several candidates want to reopen talks with PSG. If the club does end up moving to the outskirts, Paris FC would be the only big team left inside the city’s ring road—and would likely take over the Parc des Princes.
For now, the first act of this new-look Paris derby was tighter than expected. PSG edged it 2-1. The goals from Désiré Doué and Ousmane Dembélé were especially welcome for the hosts, since both players are just getting back to form after injury-hit autumns. Paris FC did pull level after halftime thanks to a Willem Geubbels penalty, but they couldn’t keep it up. The two sides go again next Monday in the Coupe de France, back at the Parc.
At the season’s halfway point, the two clubs are worlds apart in the standings—PSG are chasing Lens at the top, while Paris FC sit just two points clear of the relegation playoff. Their meeting on the final day at Jean-Bouin could end up being about a lot more than bragging rights.
HOW MATVEI SAFONOV SAVED TWO PENALTIES WITH A BROKEN HAND WITHOUT FEELING PAIN
Matvei Safonov saved two penalties with a broken hand to help PSG win the Intercontinental Cup. Get the full medical update here.

PSG coach Luis Enrique mentioned yesterday that Matvei Safonov may have saved two penalties with a broken hand, which helped Paris Saint-Germain win the Intercontinental Cup.
The Russian goalie blocked four penalty kicks during the shootout in Qatar on Wednesday. PSG barely beat Flamengo to win the trophy.
Luis Enrique said, “The player doesn’t even know how he did it.
“We believe it happened on the third penalty kick. He moved strangely and fractured his hand. He saved the last two shots despite the fracture. The adrenaline was so strong that he didn't feel any pain. It’s amazing.”
The club stated that “they will share more updates in three to four weeks.”
Luis Enrique, who has dealt with many injuries this season, mentioned he hasn’t spoken to Safonov yet.
Luis Enrique added, “It’s karma. Life is telling him he needs to rest and get better. With his attitude, he’ll be back stronger.”
Luis Enrique spoke before facing Vendee Fontenay in the French Cup.
The coach might keep playing backups in the domestic cups and choose third-choice Renato Marin as the goalie. However, he might use this chance to let Lucas Chevalier play his first game since recovering from an ankle injury.
Safonov’s performance seemed to stir up a debate about who should be the starting goalie for the European champions.
The 26-year-old Russian started the season as the second choice, but his winning plays in Qatar came after a few good performances while filling in for the injured Chevalier, who didn’t start the season so well.
Chevalier, who turned 24 in November, was brought in over the summer because coach Luis Enrique liked how he handled the ball with his feet, but he hasn’t always looked as good at stopping shots.
