Ligue 1, PSG also defeated by Monaco 3-1

After the defeat of Marseilles, here is the one in Monte Carlo. For PSG they are always tears. Eliminated in the second round of the French Cup on Wednesday (2-1), the team of the Emir of Qatar was also beaten by Monaco in the league. It finished 3-1, with Golovin’s goal and Ben Yedder’s brace. But there could have been more if Donnarumma hadn’t been there to limit the damage for a PSG who scored not with Neymar, but with sixteen-year-old Zaire-Emery.

Errors

—

PSG starts badly, indeed very badly, betrayed by two of its three young owners, on the pitch also due to last-minute absences: Messi and Verratti in the infirmary, Ramos and Hakimi on the bench due to turnover. And even if Monaco does not impose the infernal rhythms of Tudor’s Marseille, PSG is still suffering. Galtier’s team suffers and is already down in the 4th minute. The advantage comes on the development of a lateral foul on the right, the defense is not reactive, a rebound on Pereira on a first shot by Ben Yedder favors the insertion of Golovin who beats Donnarumma, anticipating the 20-year-old Pembélé, distracted. If Donnarumma puts a patch on Aguilar’s close range shot, served from the back by Henrique, he certainly can’t do anything in the 18th minute when 2005 Bitshiabu gets the ball blown away by Ben Yedder who only has to shoot it face to face with the goalkeeper sky blue.

Resignation

—

Around half an hour PSG wakes up, manages to reach Nubel more easily, but without putting him in difficulty. Except in the 39th minute when Bernat’s low cross from the left was picked up by the 16-year-old Zaire-Emery on the other side to support the net. Neymar, on the other hand, is a ghost. And at the end of the stoppage time, Golovin designs the insertion of Ben Yedder who resists Bernat and signs the double (47′). In the second half, Monaco just had to manage, because PSG seemed resigned. And so in the half hour it was Donnarumma’s turn again to avoid the humiliation of the fourth goal, instinctively on a detour from Ramos to a cross from Golovin. And again in the 38th minute following a close shot by Embolo. And then at 46′ st, on Minamino. Galtier’s team just has to try to move on and focus on the Champions League, to avoid another fool, with Monaco, version of Bayern.
