PSG were defeated by Clermont Foot at the Parc des Princes Stadium in the final game of the season.

The French giants recently celebrated their title win last week after a draw against Strasbourg and were looking to finish the season with a home win.

However, they were shocked by Clermont Foot on the last day of the season who defeated them 3-2 on the night.

PSG took the lead through Sergio Ramos and added the second from a Kylian Mbappe penalty. Clermont Foot got back into the game from Johan Gastien and got the equaliser in first-half injury time from a Mehdi Zeffane tap-in.

Clermont Foot got the winning goal in the second half from a good cross which Grejohn Kyei buried into the net.

Has it happened 

PSG manager Christopher Galtier made two changes to his side that drew to Strasbourg last weekend while the Clermont Foot manager also made two changes to his side that defeated Lorient.

The away side started the game brightly and took the lead in the 5th minute when Grejohn Kyei brilliantly darts into the box to latch on to a cross and buries the ball into the bottom left corner, leaving the goalkeeper stunned but was ruled out by VAR for offside.

PSG then took the lead in the 16th minute when Sergio Ramos ran onto a clever lofted pass from Vitinha and easily beat the keeper with a header into the bottom right corner from close range.

The home team then showed why they are the champions by taking the lead in the 21st minute when Kylian Mbappe won the battle of wills and sent an unstoppable penalty past Mory Diaw into the right side of the goal.

The away side got back into the game with a goal for themselves shortly after PSG scored their second goal when A mistake from the defence gifted a chance to a lurking Johan Gastien, who kept his cool and rolled the ball into the net from close range.

The home side thought they were going into the half-time break with the lead but were shocked by an injury-time equaliser from Mehdi Zeffane who tapped home from close range after the rebound fell kindly into his path.

The second half started with more chances created from both sides but it was Clermont Foot that got the winning goal of the game.

In the 63rd minute, Grejohn Kyei brilliantly darts into the box to latch on to a cross and buries the ball into the bottom right corner, leaving the goalkeeper stunned.

PSG were unable to get an equaliser as the away side secured all three points on the last day of the Ligue 1 season.
