Minamino’s goal sends PSG crashing down against Monaco

Monaco secured a valuable 1-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain in their Ligue 1 match on Saturday.

The home side’s goal came courtesy of Japanese star Takumi Minamino, who capitalized on a cross inside the penalty area, unleashing a clever shot that goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier couldn’t handle in the 68th minute.

The match also saw Paul Pogba’s second appearance of the season, coming on as a substitute in the 86th minute for Minamino, who had scored the winning goal for the Principality team.


This defeat against Monaco marks the second loss suffered by the treble-winning champions in Ligue 1 this season, following their defeat to Marseille in Le Classique. This raises serious questions about Luis Enrique’s team’s performances in top-flight matches this season.

PSG also suffered a defeat against Bayern Munich in the Champions League, despite the Bavarians playing with ten men for the entire second half.

Overall, Paris Saint-Germain’s defeat to Monaco has reignited the competition in Ligue 1, leaving the capital club stuck on 30 points at the top of the table.

Marseille and Lens are tied for second place in the Ligue 1 standings with 28 points each and a game in hand. Therefore, if either Marseille or Lens wins their match this week, they could move into first place, pushing Luis Enrique’s men down to third.

Monaco currently sits in sixth place in Ligue 1 with 23 points.
