This was exactly the sort of night that reminds everyone why PSG are so hard to knock off balance. Le Havre struck first through Josh Maja in the 18th minute, but the response was immediate, ruthless and, ultimately, familiar: Paris turned the game around and walked away with another statement win in the 9th round of Ligue 1.
The bigger story, though, is not just the comeback. PSG have now become the first Ligue 1 club to reach 100 goals in official competition for 15 consecutive years. That is not a flattering stat padded by empty possession or safe passing. It is a record built on relentlessness, on the simple but brutal truth that this team keeps finding goals no matter the pressure, the opponent or the script of the night.
Le Havre landed the first punch
Josh Maja's opener in the 18th minute gave Le Havre exactly what every underdog wants in a game like this: belief, noise and a little bit of doubt in the other camp. For a few minutes, PSG were forced to deal with the awkward reality of being behind. That is where lesser sides unravel. PSG did the opposite.
Mika Godts pulled them level with what was described as his second goal in PSG colours, and then Achraf Hakimi swung the match decisively in Paris' favour in the 28th minute. He was involved in the turnaround twice, first with an assist and then with the goal that changed the temperature of the evening entirely.
A record that says plenty about PSG
There is a temptation to treat scoring records as background noise when PSG are involved, because they have made domination look routine. But this one deserves real attention. Fifteen straight years of reaching 100 goals in official competition is not just a club stat; it is a competitive statement about the scale of their attacking consistency.
It also says something about how PSG manage games in Ligue 1. Even when they are pushed, even when they concede first, they still have enough quality to impose themselves before the contest drifts away from them. That is the defining edge here. The match against Le Havre could have become awkward. Instead, it became another reminder that PSG can absorb an early blow and still finish the job with authority.
Le Havre will point to the opening goal and the brief moment when this felt live. Fair enough. But the final verdict is hard to argue with: PSG were challenged, responded cleanly and added another record to a very long list of them. In a league where consistency matters, that is exactly how a heavyweight behaves.
