Another bankruptcy for the Parisians: In the away game they lose 3-0 against AS Monaco.
the essentials in brief
- PSG conceded three goals in the game against AS Monaco – without conceding a single goal.
- After the last unsuccessful weeks, the Parisians are disappointed.
The team around world champion Kylian Mbappé and Brazil star Neymar lost in the French Ligue 1 at AS Monaco. The goal of the German national player Kevin Volland in the 68th minute also conceded a defeat to the Parisians.
The fourth defeat of the season does not have a major impact on PSG given the comfortable lead. Nevertheless, the pressure on those responsible should increase after the disappointments of the past few weeks.
PSG’s morale was not right
“It’s hard to say anything about that. We started the game in the worst possible way,” said PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino. “It’s unacceptable to start like that, that was the main reason for the defeat.” Above all, you have to talk about the morale of the team in the first half.
Captain Wissam Ben Yedder with two goals (25th/84th, penalty kick) and Volland shot out the win for AS Monaco. Substitute Volland also took the penalty – Alexander Nübel was not challenged too often in the hosts’ goal.
Messi missed out against AS Monaco
Six-time world footballer Lionel Messi was absent from PSG due to flu symptoms. Neymar disappointed and was substituted for Julian Draxler in the second half.
Paris lost to Real Madrid in the Champions League round of 16 after a second-half slump. Once again the star ensemble had to give up its dream of a cup with a handle. In the cup, Mauricio Pochettino’s team was eliminated against OGC Nice.
