Strasbourg came agonizingly close to making history with their first-ever away win over Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1 but ultimately settled for a 3-3 draw. The hosts took the lead inside six minutes when Bradley Barcola's finish capped off a delightful move involving Senny Mayulu and Desire Doue.
Strasbourg responded strongly, taking a 3-1 lead and setting up a potentially pivotal clash. However, PSG showed their title credentials by mounting a late comeback, snatching a draw and showcasing their determination. The result means Strasbourg's chance to move top of the table slipped through their fingers.
Strasbourg nearly equalized shortly after PSG's goal when Senny Mayulu's slack play allowed Ben Chilwell to win the ball. The visitors continued to threaten, with Diego Moreira's cross being flicked on target by Joaquin Panichelli, only to be parried by Lucas Chevalier. Strasbourg's Julio Enciso also had a shot saved by the PSG goalkeeper.
PSG maintained possession and created chances, with Bradley Barcola having a shot blocked by Strasbourg's Mike Penders. Abdoul Ouattara's cross was also well-defended, leaving his teammates to capitalize on the scoring opportunities. The match remained intense, with both teams pushing for a decisive goal.
Strasbourg equalized in style on 26 minutes with a well-taken goal. Joaquin Panichelli leapt high to power home a header from Guela Doue's precise cross. The talented young striker showcased his aerial ability once again, setting up a great chance for Julio Enciso, although the Uruguayan striker couldn't capitalize.
The momentum shifted in Strasbourg's favor, and they soon completed their comeback. Desire Doue's loose pass was pounced on by Diego Moreira, who combined with Valentin Barco before beating Lucas Chevalier with a slightly scrappy finish.
Luis Enrique likely felt frustrated as his team squandered a lead for the second consecutive matchday. Things took a turn for the worse for PSG after the break when Lucas Beraldo's clearance fell to Moreira, whose cross was skillfully converted by Panichelli, netting his sixth goal in as many games.

PSG received a lifeline when Beraldo's long ball was controlled by Desire Doue, who was fouled in the box by Penders. Goncalo Ramos stepped up and confidently scored the resulting penalty, reigniting the match and setting up a thrilling conclusion.
Strasbourg had to withstand intense pressure in the final stages, with Lee Kang-in's shot hitting the woodwork and Mike Penders denying Goncalo Ramos on the rebound. Ultimately, Senny Mayulu headed home his rebound after initially having his shot saved, securing a crucial point for PSG.
Despite both teams pushing for a winner, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Joaquin Panichelli both had headers saved, and the match ended in a thrilling draw. This result means PSG remain top of the table, although they dropped their first points at home since April. Meanwhile, Strasbourg continued to impress under Liam Rosenior, showcasing why they're considered one of Europe's most exciting teams.
