Lee, Neves and Barcola fire PSG back to the top

PSG returned to winning ways in Ligue 1 McDonald’s on Saturday evening as Luis Enrique’s men defeated Le Havre 3–0 at the Parc des Princes. Kang-In Lee, João Neves and Bradley Barcola found the net, while Lucas Chevalier delivered another decisive performance to keep the visitors at bay. The result sends Paris back to the top of the table ahead of their Champions League meeting with Tottenham.

Paris take the lead through Lee

PSG created the early danger and were rewarded just before the half-hour mark. Nuno Mendes delivered a superb cross to the far post, where Kang-In Lee powered home the opener (29’).
Before that, Ramos and Mbaye both had chances, but Le Havre also went close, notably through Kechta and Soumaré.

Lucas Chevalier kept Paris in front with two key interventions — first standing tall against Kechta (14’), then producing an outstanding fingertip save on a deflection off Nuno Mendes (27’).
The Parisians led 1–0 at the break but were far from comfortable.

Neves doubles the advantage

PSG increased the intensity after half-time. Mbaye struck the crossbar, and Diaw denied Barcola twice in quick succession, but the pressure eventually told.

João Neves made it 2–0 on 65 minutes, following excellent work from Warren Zaïre-Emery, who recovered the ball and released Barcola. Diaw blocked Barcola twice, but Neves followed in to score via the inside of the post.

Le Havre responded well and were inches from pulling one back when Soumaré hit the post (70’).

Barcola finishes the job

PSG regained full control in the final minutes, and the third goal arrived in style.
Bradley Barcola sealed the win in the 87th minute, latching onto a perfect pass from Kvaratskhelia before firing across Diaw into the bottom corner.
It was a deserved reward for his lively cameo.

With the result secured, PSG closed out the match without difficulty to confirm a valuable victory.

THE STAT:

Nuno Mendes has been involved in four goals in Ligue 1 this season (2 goals and 2 assists), having only done better in a single season with Paris SG in the top flight in 2022-23 (6). Only Julian Ryerson (5) has provided more assists than the Portuguese player (4) among defenders/wing-backs in Europe's top five leagues in all competitions in 2025-26.
