PSG still winless in Ligue 1 as Monaco go to top
Paris Saint-Germain's slow start to the French season continues as the reigning European champions lose 2-1 at home to Monaco.
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) remains winless in Ligue 1 as Monaco takes the top spot. The reigning European champions fell behind to Matthis Abline's goal in the 31st minute at the Parc des Princes, their home venue for the first time this season. PSG's captain, Marquinhos, equalized just past halftime, but Flavio Nazinho put Monaco ahead with a header.
Belgian winger Stanis Idumbo secured the victory for Monaco with a goal in the 72nd minute. PSG, who recently extended coach Luis Enrique's contract until 2030, begin their pursuit of a third consecutive Champions League title next week against Slovan Bratislava. However, they enter the match with seven points behind Monaco in the early standings, having only managed two points from three Ligue 1 games.
Despite their recent European success, including winning the UEFA Super Cup and drawing in the Champions Trophy, PSG has struggled domestically, losing both their first two Ligue 1 matches before this win.
