Published:

By: Manu Tournoux

For the opening of the 24th day of Ligue 1, a clash between AS Monaco and PSG was scheduled for this Friday evening. Captain Mbappé, accompanied by Ramos and Asensio on the attacking front, wanted to make this meeting a success before the Champions League return match at Real Sociedad on Tuesday evening. With injuries in defense, Dembélé, Barcola, Kolo Muani and Zaire-Emery on the bench, AS Monaco could also have a chance of bringing down the current leader of the Championship and regain second place.

It was ASM which largely dominated the first period, at the Stade Louis-II. With a first strike from Minamino (16th), then by Akliouche and Golovin (29th), the Beraldo-Mukiele hinge was under pressure, but Donnarumma pulled out all the stops. Like a last clear opportunity from Akliouche, deflected onto its line (45th+3). Upset, PSG could say thank you to its imperial Italian goalkeeper. But an event surprised before the start of the second half: the exit of Kylian Mbappé at half-time.

Monaco may have regrets

Without its evening captain, PSG had even more difficulty. Donnarumma, helpless in front of Ben Yedder, was saved by his crossbar after a sublime recovery from the French international (58th). And we had to wait more than an hour of play to see PSG finally dangerous with Barcola, entering during the game, who released a shot that was too soft to worry Majecki (67th). The Monegasque goalkeeper then responded to Donnarumma by being decisive in front of Vitinha (76th).

Lots of intensity and twists and turns, but the score remained goalless. Finally, Monaco could have regrets after this draw conceded and a large number of missed opportunities, since they temporarily remain at the foot of the podium, one point behind Stade Brestois, with one more match. For its part, PSG has a second draw in a row, but remains well in the lead, with 12 points ahead of Brest. Now for the Champions League and the exit of Kylian Mbappé, who will be talked about until Tuesday evening.
