Exciting, Monaco offers the shock against PSG!
AS Monaco received PSG this Sunday in the shock of the 29th day of Ligue 1. A poster won by the Red and Whites (3-0), authors of a superb performance!
What a response from AS Monaco! Three days after his elimination in the round of 16 of the Europa League against SC Braga, the Principality Club dominated PSG (3-0) in the poster of the 29and day of Ligue 1. For this meeting, Philippe Clément decides to align a 4-2-3-1, with in particular the return to the starting lineup of Aleksandr Golovin, appointed on the left side, and Ruben Aguilar on the side right of defense.
𝗩𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗶𝗿𝗲!
Applied and efficient, our Monegasques impose themselves with style against Paris.

Red and White Fury
In an almost full Stade Louis-II, the Red and Whites are attacking this match hard and pressing very high. The opportunities are linked, first by Youssouf Fofana (5and), Aurelien Tchouameni (7and), Wissam Ben Yedder (8and) but especially Jean Lucas. In the area, the Brazilian clears a defender and wraps his shot, which Gianluigi Donnarumma comes out with an exceptional (11and). Nine minutes later, the Italian goalkeeper once again repelled a shot from close to… Jean Lucas!
Wissam Ben Yedder’s stroke of genius
The red and white furia ended up being rewarded at the 25and minute. On a cross from Youssouf Fofana from the right side, Wissam Ben Yedder opened the scoring with a magic deflection at the near post (1-0). 16and but of the season of the Monegasque captain, which rewards the excellent first period of his formation, close to the break on a distant shot from Youssouf Fofana (41and) and barely worried about attempts by Neymar (24and31and) and Achraf Hakimi (44and) well managed by Alexander Nübel.

A sensational entry by Kevin Volland
Back from the locker room, Kylian Mbappé is close to equalizing on an individual action but Benoît Badiashile saves on his line (51and). Presnel Kimpembe then places a header above (64and). And on a new collective action of school, it is the Red and White who make the break.
On a counter launched by a huge Youssouf Fofana in midfield, Ruben Aguilar finds Kevin Volland, who has just entered the game, who ended up close in six meters (2-0, 68and). And the German striker does not stop there, since he follows a penalty that transforms Wissam Ben Yedder (3-0, 83and) and which sealed the superb Monegasque success.
