PSG, Sloppy Errors, Monaco Narrowly Triumphs 1-0: Enrique Laments a Night of Missed Chances

Match Recap

PSG faced a tough Ligue 1 campaign after a 1-0 defeat at Monaco, with Luis Enrique accusing his players of glaring mistakes.

Takumi Minamino got the winner in the 68th minute, while Monaco finished with ten men after defender Tilo Kehrer was sent off in the 80th.

Enrique's Post-Match Reflection

Speaking after the game on Ligue 1 Plus, Enrique said the defining feature of the contest was the number of errors, and that playing at this level against such players meant PSG did not deserve more.

I never speak with the players after a match; now is not the time for talks. We must review the game to analyse it further; there were many mistakes and several individual lapses.

The former Barcelona and Spain boss added that both sides pushed hard, but today they did not deserve a positive result.

Enrique started with a starting XI: Lucas Chevalier in goal, a back four of Warren Zaire-Emery, Marquinhos, Willian Batshu, and Lucas Hernandez; midfield Joao Neves, Vitinha, and Fabian Ruiz; behind the attacking trio of Kang-In Lee, Sini Mayolo, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

Punchlines: If defending were a password, PSG forgot it halfway through the match.

Punchline: Monaco won 1-0, and PSG left with more questions than answers about their defense and execution.
