We are into the second of three minutes added time.
90'
L. Kurzawa gets yellow.
PSG’s frustration is nearly reaching boiling point. Kurzawa has now gone into the book for pushing Mendes.
88'
Two minutes remain for PSG to try and rescue something, but it looks like Tuchel’s side will be going home empty handed, and deservedly so.
85'
S. Camara has scored a goal for Montpellier! Assist by E. Skhiri.
If you needed an example of how bad PSG have been today, that goal would sum it up nicely. Paredes has really struggled since his move to Paris, and his complete lack of awareness allowed Skhiri to pounce, with Camara doing the rest.
GOAL! MONTPELLIER MAKE IT 3-2! The comeback is complete, after Paredes gives the ball away following a risky pass by Buffon. Skhiri manages to turn it towards Camara, and the substitute slots home with a first-time finish. What a turnaround!
83'
S. Camara enters the game and replaces A. Delort.
J. Sambia enters the game and replaces F. Mollet.
That goal will be Delort’s last involvement in this game. He has now made way for Camara.
Mollet, too, has made way. His replacement is Sambia.
80'
A. Delort has scored a goal for Montpellier! Assist by F. Mollet.
GOAL! DELORT MAKES IT 2-2! It’s the striker’s first goal against PSG in Ligue 1. Lecomte launched a huge thrown out from his box, with Mollet cushioning a brilliant pass into Delort, who got the better of Dagba before lifting a composed finish over Buffon.
Delort’s finish was tidy, but the pass to play him through from Mollet was exceptional. He has really impressed for Montpellier today, and took PSG’s defence out of the game by meeting Lecomte’s throw on the volley and turning it straight into the forward’s path.
76'
C. Dagba gets yellow.
A booking for Dagba, who would not give the ball back to Oyongo when he was trying to take a quick throw. Moments before, Di Maria played in Draxler, but he couldn't get the ball out of his feet.
73'
P. Lasne enters the game and replaces M. Suárez.
A first change for Montpellier sees Suarez make way for Lasne.
72'
D. Le Tallec gets yellow.
A late challenge from Le Tallec on Kurzawa sees the Montpellier man go into the book.
Minute
Description
65'
Good defending from Suarez, who stands his ground well against Di Maria, stealing possession before forcing a foul. Had he not got there, PSG’s goalscorer would have been through on goal.
62'
Á. Di María has scored a goal for PSG!
Marquinhos did well to force the ball into Di Maria, who must take all the credit. He – like all of PSG’s players – has not been up to standard today, but demonstrated his quality with that sublime piece of skill.
GOAL! PSG ARE BACK IN FRONT! It’s 2-1 now, thanks to a moment of magic from Di Maria. Marquinhos managed to bundle the ball into the Argentine’s path and, despite having no space to work with, and the goalkeeper closing him down, Di Maria twisted his way around Lecomte and tucked home.
60'
PSG have certainly had more control since the restart, though Montpellier are still looking dangerous on the counter.
56'
E. Skhiri gets yellow.
Some late challenges are flying in now, and PSG aren’t happy. First, 41-year-old Hilton lunged in heavily on Draxler, before Skhiri goes into the book for a lunge on Paredes.
54'
Di Maria tries his luck from a free-kick 25 yards out, but although the angle was a good one for the left-footed winger, he can’t get his attempt up and over the wall.
52'
Oyongo leads a swift Montpellier counter, driving forward at pace before switching play to Le Tallec, who in turn finds Mollet. He aims a cross towards Delort, but Marquinhos gets there first.
50'
Di Maria and Draxler exchange positions in a slick move, with the Argentine lofting a pass over the top of Montpellier’s line and finding the former Wolfsburg playmaker. Draxler, though, can’t bring it under his spell, and only manages to foul Congre.
48'
Choupo-Moting is on the bench, and has his left leg heavily strapped with ice. Kurzawa has gone straight out to the left, with Bernat moving into what now seems to be a three-man midfield, with Neymar and Di Maria playing up front.
46'
L. Kurzawa enters the game and replaces E. Choupo-Moting.
There is indeed a change from Tuchel, and one that would suggest a tactical tweak. Choupo-Moting is off, with left-back Kurzawa coming on.
Likely sensing that this could be their day against PSG, Montpellier get the second half underway.
45' +2
HALF-TIME: MONTPELLIER 1-1 PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN.
45' +1
M. Suárez gets yellow.
Neymar wants a penalty after a tussle with Mendes, but the referee rightly dismisses his appeals, instead awarding PSG a corner as we enter two minutes of added time.
Suarez gets Montpellier's first booking of the game, for a foul on Di Maria.
40'
Juan Bernat gets yellow.
Suarez looks to have the beating of Bernat, and the former Bayern Munich defender will have to tread carefully now, having picked up a booking for bringing down the Uruguayan.
38'
The visitors seem to be getting back into their stride now after 15 minutes of constant Montpellier pressure. Paredes pulls the strings from deep, progressing PSG forward with some short, neat passes, before he lays it wide to Di Maria. He looks to float a ball to the back post, but gets too much on it.
36'
PSG finally string together a patient move that results in Draxler playing in Choupo-Moting, but the former Stoke City forward can’t get a shot away before he is crowded out by Montpellier’s defence.
29'
P. Kimpembe gets yellow.
The frustration is really setting in now for PSG, as Kimpembe goes into the book for a rash challenge from behind on Laborde. Montpellier are well on top at the moment.
23'
It hasn’t been a great week for Kimpembe. He scored an own goal on Saturday, and has now converted into his own net again.
21'
P. Kimpembe is unfortunate, scores an own goal!
A free-kick now in a dangerous area for Montpellier, with Kimpembe having been far too zealous when flying into a challenge with Suarez. The PSG man appears to have come off worse, but is now up on his feet without having to receive any treatment.
GOAL! It’s all square at 1-1! More torrid defending from PSG, as dreadful marking allows Le Tallec to meet the ball unmarked six yards out. His header was going wide, but Kimpembe – who of course conceded the free-kick in needless fashion – could not get out of the way, and deflected it past Buffon.
20'
Sloppy play from Paredes allows Montpellier to pounce, and only a last-ditch interception from Kimpembe prevents Laborde going clean through on goal. The hosts recycle possession and loop in another testing cross, but this time PSG are able to see it out of play.
18'
Neymar has been on the fringes of the game so far, though when he has got involved he is looking to make things happen. A quick burst of pace gets him through a crowd of defenders, but his attempted cross is a poor one, and Montpellier break.
16'
Mendes ventures forward out of defence and drills a pass into the feet of Laborde. The striker does well to take it in, but his touch just gets away from him, allowing Marquinhos to rush across and clear the danger, taking a knock from Laborde in the process.
12'
A. Oyongo is unfortunate, scores an own goal!
OWN GOAL! PSG lead 1-0! Well, just moments after making a vital challenge to deny Alves, Oyongo has sliced high into his own net. Bernat got free down the left and delivered a neat cut-back, and though there was no PSG player present, Oyongo could only hook it past Lecomte.
10'
Brilliant defending from Oyongo, who just managed to nip in and prevent Alves getting free in the area following an excellent pass from Neymar.
8'
A first effort from Montpellier now, as space opens up for Delort. The striker has 13 league goals this term, but this time could not keep his effort on target, dragging it about two yards wide of the left-hand upright. PSG race up the other end, with the ball laid back to Paredes, but he failed to test Lecomte.
4'
Now it’s PSG’s turn to do some defending, after Di Maria is caught in possession, enabling the hosts to counter. Laborde finds himself in a decent position down the right, but his cross is a poor one, allowing Draxler to draw a foul.
3'
Straight away, it is clear that PSG are not playing in a 4-3-3 as the teamsheet suggested. Instead, Dagba has slotted into a back three, with Alves in a right wing-back role. The visitors have controlled the ball in the opening stages, and Di Maria has just swept over from 15 yards out.
1'
At the sound of referee Mikael Lesage’s whistle, PSG – in their all white away strip – get proceedings underway.
Hello and welcome to LIVE coverage of the Ligue 1 fixture between Montpellier and champions Paris Saint-Germain.
After a superb first half of the campaign, things have been a little more complicated for Thomas Tuchel’s side in the back half of the season. A Champions League exit at the hands of Manchester United came amid 12 wins, but PSG have won just one of their last five fixtures in all competitions.
That win came against Monaco, on the day that PSG were crowned champions for the second season running – their sixth title in seven seasons. PSG have lost their last two away Ligue 1 fixtures, 5-1 at Lille and 3-2 at Nantes respectively, while Tuchel’s side lost to Rennes on penalties in the Coupe de France final on Saturday.
MONTPELLIER SUBS: Junior Sambia, Paul Lasne, Dimitry Bertaud, Souleymane Camara, Nicolas Cozza.
MONTPELLIER (3-4-1-2): Benjamin Lecomte; Pedro Mendes, Hilton, Daniel Congre; Mathias Suarez, Damien Le Tallec, Ellyes Skhiri, Ambroise Oyongo; Florent Mollet; Gaetan Laborde, Andy Delort.
PSG SUBS: Alphonse Areola, Layvin Kurzawa, Christopher Nkunku, Loic Mbe Soh, Arthur Zagre, Moussa Diaby.
The teams are out at Stade de la Mosson. PSG have come under plenty of criticism in recent weeks, and will be looking to make amends today, as the Ligue 1 season nears its conclusion.
PSG (3-4-3): Gianluigi Buffon; Colin Dagba, Marquinhos, Presnel Kimpembe; Dani Alves, Leandro Paredes, Julian Draxler, Juan Bernat; Angel Di Maria, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, Neymar.
While Montpellier coach Der Zakarian will likely be demanding more of the same from his side after the interval, you would not be surprised if Tuchel decided to change things after the restart, though with just six substitutes on his bench – and three of them youth players at that – he does not have a wealth of options at his disposal.
It is now three successive away defeats for PSG in Ligue 1, and Tuchel could well be under some pressure if performances don’t pick up, even though his side have stormed to the title this season. Montpellier, meanwhile, are up to fifth, and well in the race for Europe.
