PSG Cruise Past Le Havre to Return to the Top of Ligue 1

Paris Saint-Germain reclaimed first place in Ligue 1 after a confident 3–0 victory over Le Havre, delivering exactly the kind of composed, purposeful football head coach Luis Enrique has been demanding. Despite several squad issues, PSG looked sharp and efficient from the opening whistle.
The breakthrough came early as Kang-In Lee finished off a precise cross from Nuno Mendes. Soon after, midfielder João Neves doubled the lead with a calm, clinical strike, putting the champions firmly in control. In the closing stages, young forward Bradley Barcola sealed the result, capping a well-orchestrated team performance.
Le Havre were not without chances, but each time they threatened, goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier came up big with crucial saves that kept PSG’s clean sheet intact. The victory lifts PSG to 30 points, pushing them temporarily ahead of Olympique Marseille and Lens in the title race. Ukrainian international Ilya Zabarnyi completed the full 90 minutes at the heart of PSG’s defence, delivering a composed and disciplined display.
