After beating Basra, PSG lost at home

Sports Desk: Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) returned home with a big 4-1 victory over Barcelona in their last match. They could not use the confidence they got in the first leg of the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League in the French League match at home. PSG lost to Monaco 0-2 at home in a League One match on Sunday night. PSG would have narrowed the points gap with top-ranked Lille if they had won the match.

Now they are 4 points behind. The team lost 2-3 in the first match against Monaco. The match at home was well ahead of PSG in terms of ball possession or attack. But the team's forwards have suffered from the failure of finishing. Kylian Mbabane, who scored a hat-trick at Barsa, seemed to be a prisoner in his own shadow. The absence of Neymar and Angel Di Maria has also been widely felt.

However, Monaco took the lead at the beginning of the match by surprising PSG. Sofian Diop scored the first goal in just 6 minutes of the match. Ruben Aguilar, who first headed in a cross for Caio Henrique, fell on Diop's head, leaving the 20-year-old Saren to do the rest of the work from very close to the goal. Coincidentally, the team scored their second goal in the sixth minute of the second half.

This time the goal scorer is Guillermo Maripán. Maripán easily doubled the lead with the opportunity to keep the PSG loose in the D-box. Which later proved to be enough to win the match. After this defeat, PSG remained at number three with 54 points in 26 matches. Monaco at number four with 52 points in the match. Above all, Lille got 57 points in 26 matches, Olympic Lyon came second with 55 points.
