Yes, yes he does play for PSG
Remember when utility Stoke City forward Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting signed with nefarious oil barrens Paris Saint-Germain, the club with a literal bottomless pit of money, on a free transfer? Do you remember when everybody responded to the move with the same confused expression and mouthing of ‘errrr, what?’ in unison?
Well, good news! We now know why he was signed. It was for moments like this, when, during PSG’s match to seal the title with eight games remaining, he managed to clear a certain goal off the Strasbourg line just to make Ligue 1 slightly more interesting for all eight football fans outside of France that are still following it:

What a hero. After scoring the opening goal of the game as well. This is Eric Choupo-Moting’s world and we’re all just living in it.
Anyway, here is Kylian Mbappe’s reaction to his teammate’s incredible commitment to the banter:

And if you needed any convincing that what you have just seen is the worst miss in football history, worse even than Nwankwo Kanu’s left foot shocker for West Brom against Middlesbrough in 2005, then I leave you with this image:

PSG are 2-1 down at the time of writing. Will they come back in the second half to seal yet another title? I mean yeah. Probably. Unless Maxim Choupo-Moting can keep them out for the final 45 minutes.
