Paris Saint-Germain failed the dress rehearsal for the Champions League game against FC Bayern Munich.
Without Argentina’s world champion Lionel Messi and star striker Kylian Mbappé, the French soccer champion in Ligue 1 lost the top game at AS Monaco 1: 3 (1: 3).
Seven points ahead of second place
Only 16-year-old midfielder Warren Zaire-Emery scored for the star ensemble in the 39th minute to make it 1-2. The goals from Monegasque Alexander Golowin (4th) and Wissam Ben Yedder (18th/45th + 2) sealed PSG’s third loss of the season. The team of Monaco’s trainer Philippe Clement reduced the gap to the championship leader from Paris to seven points with the victory.
On Tuesday (9:00 p.m.) PSG welcomes the German record champions Bayern Munich to the round of 16 first leg in the Champions League.
