This Saturday evening, Paris Saint-Germain secured a 0-1 victory (video highlights Le Havre/PSG) against Le Havre as part of the 24th matchday of Ligue 1 2025-2026 at the Stade Océane. Here are the highs and lows of this victory.

Tops –

❤️ 4 points ahead – the break

It’s hard to highlight anything other than the favorable result. On another mixed evening, PSG did the essential: win and pull away from Lens. Now, the Sang et Or are further behind and Paris will have a joker up their sleeve.

Zabarnyi impressive, Pacho impactful

We had an almost unprecedented central defense, and it showed it could be effective. Zabarnyi has great qualities, as we knew, even if his adaptation is taking time and he isn’t always outstanding in his matches. He showed he could be a leader on the defensive line, but also in his interventions. Pacho, who has struggled in a few matches, was also very good.

Barcola the scorer

We ask him to be decisive and he delivered. Scoring, then creating chances, he looked lively. Not everything is perfect, of course, but you can feel his desire. Like others, he’s playing match after match and this season has been anything but easy for PSG. In the end, we’ll remember that in the small details of the season, he contributed his part to the team’s effort.

Flops –

😡Efficiency

If PSG had last season’s efficiency, everything would be different. This crucial aspect is missing in the assessment of this team. In reality, Paris largely dominated Le Havre, but by failing to convert their chances, once again we felt the opponent starting to believe in pulling off an upset. PSG is its own worst enemy this season. Lee missed a one-on-one, shots are less precise. Even if Paris rediscovered real motivation during the match, efficiency is still far from being there.

Another missed penalty

Curse? Certainly not. It’s a technical gesture and, to be honest, Paris is struggling a lot in this area. Opposing goalkeepers have gained the upper hand. The penalty was poorly taken. Yet, the goalkeeper anticipated a lot and with more control and calm, Doué could have seen that and gone the other way. That didn’t happen. Another detail that makes the difference—at 2-0, the story would have been different.
