A listless version of PSG was crushed 3-0 by Monaco on Sunday, whose striker Wissam Ben Yedder scored twice to give his side the lead.

After the elimination of PSG in the round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League at the hands of Real Madrid, the poor presentation of the leaders of the French league at the Stade Louis II will do nothing to calm the anger of their ultras who in recent days have asked for the departure of sports director Leonardo and president Nasser Al-Khelaifi.

PSG had the absence of the Argentine star Lionel Messi, who was out due to flu symptoms days before the match. PSG also missed Sergio Ramos, Angel di María, Juan Bernat, Layvin Kurzawa and Ander Herrera.

The Parisians had control of the possession of the ball, but they were really bad when going on the attack; to this, we can add that Monaco went ahead on the scoreboard in the 25th minute. Youssouf Fofana overflowed from nowhere on the right to put in a cross to Ben Yedder. With his back to goal, the French striker slammed into the back of his foot to open the scoring.

Second Half

Monaco was able to go into the break with a larger lead but wasted a couple of good chances.

In another mistake by Verratti, who was lost in the middle of the field; Monaco put together a counter that Volland make into the 2-0.

PSG’s best came at 51 when Kylian Mbappé finished off poorly after receiving a filtered pass from Neymar.

After this, Pochettino decided to change Neymar who, after being reprimanded by the referee, brushed the second card; so the Argentine did not want to take risks and left another image symptom of Parisian instability by replacing the Brazilian. PSG was already out of the game at that point in the game and has been on the canvas since Benzema, with his 3 goals, left them out of the Champions League for another season.

Yedder made it 3-0 for good six minutes from time after Presnel Kimpembe brought down Volland. The goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma was able to contain the striker’s shot, but the ball ended up nesting in the net.

The end of the season is going to be eternal for Paris Saint-Germain . The blow of falling against Real Madrid in the round of 16 of the Champions League has knocked out a team that will suffer a penance until June.
