Not bad for the young Spanish coach, who is discovering the L1!

At the Parc des Princes, PSG stars have favored the enemy's counterattacks by their random replacement. It could be dangerous next month in the knockout stages of the Champions League against Dortmund ...

After a quarter of an hour of play, Monaco led 2-1 thanks to Gelson Martins, who pushed the ball to the bottom after a failed exit from Paris goalkeeper Keylor Navas (7th), then a nice cross shot from Wissam Ben Yedder (13th) ), top scorer in L1 (14 goals) and untenable on Sunday. Then, launched by Moreno in the second half, Islam Slimani reduced Monaco to 3-3 thanks to a little boost from video refereeing (70th).

Fortunately for Paris, his offensive quartet remains difficult to stop. Neymar opened the scoring for a recovery from the left after an opening by Marco Verratti (3rd), then he forced Fodé Ballo-Touré to score against his side (24th).

Finally, the Brazilian signed his first double of the season by transforming a penalty obtained by Kylian Mbappé (41st), which prompted the Parc des Princes to chant his name, far from the whistles wiped out last summer when "Ney" failed did not hide his desires to return to Barcelona.

Admittedly, in a breathless end of the match, the Parisian N. 10 failed to fold the meeting (53rd). But revenge arrives on Wednesday, with a trip to Monaco in late match of the 15th day and the possibility for Paris to tighten the bolts ...
