Monaco’s spirited response and Paris Saint-Germain’s sudden decline define the aftermath of this Ligue 1 fourteenth-round clash. Although PSG remains atop the table for now, that position is precarious.
Struggling to generate any genuine threat, mere days after their dazzling 5-3 Champions League victory over Tottenham, the Parisians succumbed to a solitary strike by Takumi Minamino in the sixty-eighth minute. It was the crucial deciding moment in an otherwise lackluster and tight defensive encounter.
Monaco ultimately finished the game with ten men following Thilo Kehrer’s expulsion in the eightieth minute. The match also featured early controversy when Lamine Camara’s dangerous tackle on Lucas Chevalier occurred. While he escaped severe punishment in the eleventh minute, many argued it warranted an early exit. Ultimately, Monaco held firm, securing a vital 1-0 victory while leaving Paris to question their inconsistent domestic form again.
