Paris Saint-Germain had the chance to secure their third consecutive Ligue 1 title on Saturday.
With Monaco 11 points back in this first of four final games,
all they had to do was overcome Le Havre at the Parc des Princes
to be able to lift the trophy in front of their own fans.
Visitors had their own targets to focus on, however,
having slipped into the relegation playoff spot after four losses and one draw in their previous five,
including frustrating back-to-back defeats,
1-0 on home soil in the most recent two.
They stunned the Parc early on.
Against the run of play, Christopher Obery converting their first shot on target.
A well-worked move.
Well, Savic's pass struck first time to the bottom corner.
It seemed to spark the Parisians into life.
They were soon level.
As Bradley Barcoula tapped home Warren Zai Emery's cross at the back post.
One goal to go with his three assists in the last five games in all competitions.
After failing to grab one of either in the previous six.
Le Havre had been quite enjoying leading the champions.
Decided they wouldn't mind doing so again.
Not long before half-time, signed veteran Andre Ayou firing past Caelon Avas.
Finding a gap between the keeper and his near post.
After collecting a lovely backheel from Loic Nego.
Deflection of Danilo.
Helping it on its way.
Having its first goal against Paris in the top flight since 2013.
With their arch-rivals Marseille.
Paris had won each of their five top-flight games against Le Havre in the 21st century.
Ina Bappe brought on for the second half.
However, before he could make any impact,
the visitors were awarded a penalty.
Danilo, a judge to have fouled.
Nego, for a VAR check.
Isaac Touré stepping up and sending Avas the wrong way.
Giving the visitors a shock two-goal cushion.
So after conceding three goals at home against the promoted side for the first time since 2010.
PSG set about fighting back and eventually,
with a quarter of an hour remaining, they did pull one back to Ashraf Hakimi.
Tucked the ball under Artur Desmas.
It's been put through by substitute Gonzalo Ramos.
His first goal in Bourbon since mid-October.
And deep into stoppage time, the creator would turn,
finisher Ramos with the header in off the far post.
Extending PSG's unbeaten league run to 26 matches.
He wouldn't grab the winner.
However, once Monaco had lost on Sunday,
Paris Saint-Germain crowned champions.
A record-extending 12th Ligue 1 European title.
Which also sees them hit the big 5-0,
the 50th place of silverware in their illustrious history.
