Monaco dealt a new blow to Paris Saint-Germain this season and beat them 3-0 today, Sunday, in the 29th round of the French Football League, increasing pressure on coach Mauricio Pochettino, less than two weeks after his exit from the Champions League.
Saint-Germain still has 65 points from 29 games, 15 points ahead of Olympique de 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 the absence of Lionel Messi due to the flu, the capital's team did not present almost anything at Stade Louis II, 11 days after its exit from the Champions League final price against Real Madrid, who scored a hat-trick in 17 minutes.
Monaco ended the first half with a clean goal scored by Wissam Ben Yedder in the 25th minute, and consolidated their victory in the second half with a goal scored by German substitute Kevin Volland in the 68th minute.

Monaco was not satisfied with that, but Ben Yedder scored his second goal and the third for the team from a penalty kick in the 88th minute, to be PSG's fourth defeat in the competition this season, and the third in the team's last 5 matches in the competition.
Monaco has 44 points, advancing to seventh place, with a goal difference only against Lens.
