PSG lost their unstoppability on Sunday night. Monaco found the recipe for the French league hegemon, taking a point from the Parc des Princes. And all thanks to one of the biggest stars in world football.
The Parisians have started the new season in style. They had a phenomenal start to the league and the duo of Neymar and Lionel Messi in particular put in a fantastic performance. They were joined in the third round by Kylian Mbappé.
After three rounds of Ligue 1, PSG had a full complement of points and a great score of 17: 3. It seemed unstoppable. However, in the fourth round, it had already found an obstacle it could not overcome. In the form of Monaco.
Although PSG clearly dominated the weekend’s Ligue 1 fixture both statistically and in terms of play, the match ended 1:1 on goals. It is worth mentioning that the star attacking trio of the Parisian team did not look completely bad.
However, the conversion of chances was not going well. Mbappé in particular must regret what he didn’t take advantage of. Messi’s shot from outside the box ended up on the bar and the ball bounced right to the French star.
Mbappé had more or less an empty net in front of him, he wasn’t even that far away from it. But he followed up the legendary Argentine’s shot and hit the other post from much closer range.
It’s worth noting that Mbappé’s missed opportunity is being widely discussed throughout the football community. Sportbible, for example, called it the biggest miss of the season ever.
French football fans, however, do not regret this burnt ‘scalp’. On the contrary. The top of Ligue 1 is now beautifully balanced. Like PSG, Olympique Marseille and Lens also have 10 points.
