A new fall.. Paris collapses in the stronghold of Monaco
Goals: AS Monaco – Paris Saint Germain – Played on 02/11/2023
Paris Saint-Germain fell again, losing to its host Monaco 1-3, today, Saturday, in the 23rd round of the French League.
Monaco’s hat-trick Alexander Golovin and Wissam Ben Yedder scored “two goals” in the 4th, 18th, and 45th + 1 minutes, while Zair Emery scored the only guest goal in the 39th minute.
The Parisian giants suffered their third loss in the league, a few days after bidding farewell to the French Cup by losing to their traditional rivals Marseille, to freeze their score at 54 points.
The loss did not affect the standings of the defending champion, as he remained in the lead, while Monaco jumped to the runner-up “temporarily” with 47 points, and Marseille and Lens succeeded him with 46 points each.

PSG seemed disjointed from the first minutes, affected by the many absences in its ranks, as its defense was confused and its attack was completely lost, as it was without ferocity or danger.
Monaco took advantage of the weakness of the Parisian defensive quartet, Pembili, Marquinhos, Bernat, and Pichabu, and surprised the guests with an early goal scored by Golovin after an incursion from Youssef Fofana and Wissam Ben Yedder.
Gianluigi Donnarumma also saved other dangerous attempts from Robin Aguilar, Caio Henrique, and Wissam Ben Yedder.
And from a naive mistake by the young defender, Pechabu, Ben Yedder snatched the ball and hit it hard at Donnarumma’s net, scoring the second goal for the landlords.
PSG tried to absorb this shock but lacked the harmony between the attacking duo Neymar and Iketeki, who did not find enough support from the midfield quartet Vitinha, Danilo, Soler, and Zair Emery.
The Parisian team needed nearly a full half to carry out a successful organized attack, started by Ikitiki, during which Soler and Bernat cooperated, to be translated by the young player, Zair Emery, into the net, scoring the first goal.
