⚽️ ⚽️ Paris Saint-Germain ⚽️ ⚽️
PSG returned home following a huge road win art Barcelona, only to themselves be stunned by a road team at their home in the Parc des Princes in Paris. The visiting Monaco football club pulled off an enormous win that now puts PSG’s title shots this year into serious doubt.
Yes, Monaco managed to play a near perfect game, and they did it largely by making every effort to keep French star of PSG Kylian Mbappé in check. This was important, as Mbappé had just hurt Barcelona badly with a hat trick just days earlier.
Monaco midfielder got Monaco up early with a goal in the 6th minute that allowed the visitors an early lead.
They were able to make that stand up, by holding off PSG for the duration of the first half, keeping that one goal lead for halftime.
Then, Chilean star Guillermo Maripán scored in the 51st minute to give Monaco a decisive 2-0 lead.
PSG was unable to break through, and so Monaco managed to pull off a huge win that keeps them within striking distance of catching PSG. Currently, Monaco has 52 points after 26 games played, while PSG has 54 after the same number of games played. Yet, they both trail the leaders. Lyon is one point ahead of PSG, but it is Lille who look amazing right now, and very much capable of finishing the season in first place. They, along with Monaco, have been red hot of late, and both of those teams are undefeated in their last five games.
