Paris St Germain moved to the brink of another Ligue 1 title, but their celebrations were kept on ice as they had to hit back from two goals down to draw 3-3 against struggling Le Havre.

A win would have guaranteed a 12th league crown for PSG, who made 10 changes, including resting Kylian Mbappe, ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League semi-final first leg against Borussia Dortmund.

Luis Enrique’s decision backfired as Christopher Operi put struggling Le Havre ahead and, while Bradley Barcola levelled, Andrew Ayew’s deflected strike and Abdoulaye Tour’s penalty left PSG trailing 3-1.

Achraf Hakimi narrowed the deficit before substitute Goncalo Ramos headed home deep into injury time to seal a point for PSG that lifted them 12 ahead of Monaco, who have four games left to play.

With a better goal difference than their closest challengers, PSG have one hand on the trophy, but it is not mathematically certain yet.

While they were unable to hand PSG a second defeat in the top flight this season, Le Havre moved above Metz and into 15th, out of the relegation spots on goal difference.

Marco Sportiello made a string of saves after his late call-up to help AC Milan to a goalless draw at Juventus, whose hopes of finishing second in Serie A took a major blow.

Sportiello was drafted in because of a muscle strain in the warm-up to first-choice goalkeeper Mike Maignan at the Allianz Stadium and the Milan deputy continually frustrated Juventus.

A superb double save to deny Filip Kostic and then Danilo’s rebound was the pick of the bunch to leave Juventus trailing Milan by five points with just four matches left.

Girona leapfrogged Barcelona into second in LaLiga as goals from David Lopez and Artem Dovbyk, who struck from the spot, sealed a 2-0 win at Las Palmas, who suffered a fifth successive defeat.

Atletico Madrid boosted their hopes of qualifying for next season’s Champions League after defeating fifth-placed Athletic Bilbao 3-1.
