Neymar’s red card in the 90th minute expressed a disappointing evening for PSG, as they went 0-1 at home to Lille, who now took a three-point lead at the top of Lig 1.
This was Neymar’s second and fourth appearance this season after joining PSG in 2017.
PSG now face three straight home league defeats for the first time since 2007, and they trail Lille by three points with seven games to go.
Monaco are in third place after defeating Metz 4–0, but Lyon suffered a five-point lead to tie it 1–1 while finishing fifth in a five-point lead.
Mauricio Pochettino’s PSG eased to another league title after recently winning 4–2 in Lyon before the international break, but Saturday’s result casts doubt on his credibility.
He has taken just one point from four matches against Lille and Monaco this season. Lyon also defeated him in Paris.
“I am disappointed with the result and missing three crucial points. I am not worried but we have to keep fighting till the end,” Pochettino said.

“We are an inconsistent side for many reasons but we are working to fix it.”
