Trailing 2-0 after just 18 minutes on AS Monaco’s pitch, the Parisians had a nightmarish start to the Champions League play-off first leg, with glaring defensive errors and an attack unable to react immediately. Despite this catastrophic start, PSG was able to pull itself together, reduce the gap then turn the match around thanks to the decisive entry of Désiré Doué, who scored the winning goal in a brilliant performance.
Asked about his state of mind when his team was losing, Luis Enrique responded with humor: “I wanted to come home to my wife and children. » A sentence which illustrates the pressure felt by the PSG players in these first intense minutes, before regaining their champion mentality to win (3-2) in this European shock.
