Paris Saint-Germain suffers a heavy defeat in Monaco

Paris St Germain underwent a poor performance in their Ligue 1 defeat at Monaco on Sunday, raising pressure on coach Mauricio Pochettino less than two weeks after their Champions League exit.

Paris Saint-Germain, who has 65 points from 29 games, is still 15 points ahead of Olympique Marseille and Nice, before the two teams meet later in the day after receiving their third defeat in a row away from home in the league.

With Lionel Messi absent due to the flu, the capital's team presented almost nothing at Stade Louis II, 11 days after being knocked out in the Champions League round of 16 against Real Madrid, who scored three goals in 17 minutes.

Monaco's tally of 44 points is in seventh place.
