The former Stoke City forward Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting was guilty of an extraordinary miss as PSG botched the chance to wrap up the Ligue 1 title after a 2-2 draw with Strasbourg.
Choupo-Moting needlessly deflected a goal-bound shot from his team-mate Christopher Nkunku on to the post from less than a yard out, thereby preventing his side going 2-1 in front in the first half.
The Cameroon striker had given PSG a 13th-minute lead but Strasbourg equalised through Nuno da Costa and Anthony Gonçalves gave the visitors the advantage before the break.
PSG looked to be heading for only the second defeat of their league campaign until the substitute Thilo Kehrer equalised eight minutes from time.
PSG had been given the chance to clinch the title after second-placed Lille were held to a 1-1 draw at Reims in an earlier kick-off. The French champions remain 20 points clear.

In Italy Juventus need one more point to secure the Serie A title next week after second-placed Napoli were held to a 1-1 home draw by 10-man Genoa.
It was another setback for Carlo Ancelotti’s side after their midweek defeat by Empoli as they failed to beat 10-man Genoa. After Stefano Sturaro was sent off in the 28th minute Dries Mertens fired Napoli in front after 34 minutes but Genoa responded with Koray Günter heading against the bar before Darko Lazovic equalised in first-half added time.
Atalanta earned the point they needed to leapfrog Milan into fourth place as they held out for a goalless draw at third-placed Internazionale. Mauro Icardi, making his first start at the San Siro in six weeks after controversy over the Inter club captaincy, had the best chance but prodded a poor shot straight at the visiting goalkeeper, Pierluigi Gollini.
Lazio lost further ground in their quest to ensure European qualification for next season as they were held to a 2-2 draw at home by Sassuolo.
In La Liga Getafe moved a step closer to earning Champions League football for the first time after beating Athletic Bilbao 1-0 on Sunday. Ángel Rodríguez scored the only goal with 12 minutes remaining when he showed neat control and a clinical finish to beat Iago Herrerín.
The victory leaves fourth-placed Getafe – whose best ever top-flight finish is sixth – a point clear of Sevilla, who climbed to fifth after defeating Real Valladolid 2-0 with two late goals.
At the other end of the table Celta Vigo’s recent resurgence continued with the in-form striker Iago Aspas again scoring to beat 10-man Real Sociedad 3-1, a result that leaves them two points above the relegation zone. Willian José gave Sociedad the lead with a 32nd-minute penalty but he was sent off on the hour – soon after Aspas had levelled from the spot for Celta.
Aspas then put them 2-1 up before Maxi Gómez added a late third as Celta made it seven points from their last three games – having previously picked up only four from a possible 36.
