  • Three days after a spectacular draw at the Parc des Princes (3-3), PSG set the record straight by beating Monaco (1-4) dryly at Louis-II.
  • More united in defense, Paris was able to rely on a Mbappé found.

At the Louis-II stadium,

Simple logic: the effect of surprise works less well when you face the same opponent every three days. After trapping PSG at the Park (3-3, Sunday), Monaco fell sharply (1-4), this Wednesday, in a late match of the 15th day of Ligue 1.

Mbappé finds his garden

The young ball pickers had felt the blow. Before kick-off, they argued over who would hold Mbappé's side. After a missed match on Sunday, the French nugget was going to catch up well. Perfectly launched by an artist Di Maria, the killer Mbappé presented himself against Lecomte after an easy sprint against Glik and Maripan.

7 - Angel Di Maria and Kylian Mbappé were decisive passers for each other on 7 goals in Ligue 1 this season (6 assists by Di Maria for Mbappé and 1 assist by Mbappé for Di Maria), the duo the more prolific in the elite in 2019/20. Bromance 💌. @PSG_inside pic.twitter.com/VO5XHDVW9K

The rest, you know it: flat foot small net (0-1, 24th). He reoffended at the end of the match, at the conclusion of a counter-attack initiated by Neymar (1-4, 91st).

Lecomte and Navas show up

They signed a parade each in the first four minutes and multiplied the interventions, sometimes spectacular. Like this reflex parade by Lecomte in the face of an attempt to "madjer" by Neymar (18th). But the Monegasque goalkeeper had to lose on a penalty from the Brazilian (0-2, 46th). A "peno" well executed but difficult to justify, as the contact between Glik and Kurzawa seemed light. The ASM goalkeeper could not do anything against Sarabia, alone within 6 meters (0-3, 73rd).

PSG holds its rank

Only the first minutes of the game were as crazy as the first leg. This time, PSG ended up imposing its game and stifled Monaco, leaving the Monegasques only very rare ammunition. The Paris defense was more consistent and more united than Sunday: it only cracked on a confused action, an opportunistic knee kick from Bakayoko after a free kick (1-3, 86th).

For Tuchel, the "test" is generally successful. But he knows that the opposition will not be the same in the Champions League in mid-February. Simple logic.
