Ben Yeder celebrates against the background of the Parisians’ disappointment (Reuters)
The 23rd round of the French league continued tonight (Saturday) when, just before its meeting on Tuesday in the round of 16 of the Champions League against Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain was hosted by Monaco, and succumbed to it 3:1. The team from the City of Lights came to the game after losing on Wednesday 2:1 in an away match against arch rival Marseille and was kicked out of the French Cup.
For tonight’s game, PSG arrived again without the injured Kylian Mbappe, who was joined by Leo Messi, who was not included in the squad due to muscle sensitivity. Without the two big stars, Neymar was left alone in the campaign, and Christophe Galtier’s team could not cope with the one from the French Riviera and recorded a second loss in a row in all formats.
Alexander Golovin put the locals ahead after only four minutes of football when he took advantage of Wissam Ben Yeder’s assist. In the 18th minute, Ben Yeder scored himself and doubled the lead. In the 39th minute, 16-year-old Warren Zaire-Emery narrowed the score, but in the extra time of the half, Ben Yeder completed a brace and sealed the result of the game.
