Luis Enrique slams PSG display in Monaco defeat | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain, lacking inspiration, suffered their second defeat in Ligue 1 this Saturday (29th), in the 14th round, losing 1-0 to Monaco, who bounced back after having slipped away from the top teams in the table in recent weeks.

A goal from Japanese midfielder Takumi Minamino in the second half (68′) decided the match at Stade Louis II, where the home team had to fight hard in the final stretch to hold on to the win after being reduced to ten men in the 80th minute, with the sending off of German defender Thilo Kehrer, a former PSG player.

“Without a doubt, it was the worst game we’ve played this season,” declared PSG coach Luis Enrique. “Normally, I prefer to review the games and analyze them, but today it was easier. We weren’t precise enough and made too many individual and collective mistakes,” he added.

“Neither team played at a very high level, but they played better than us. It was, without a doubt, our worst match of the season,” lamented the Spanish coach.

Tight schedule

Monaco, who had lost three consecutive matches in Ligue 1, thus ended their negative streak and provisionally climbed to sixth place in the league standings.

Both the team from the Principality and PSG had played in the Champions League on Wednesday, and this seemed to be reflected on the pitch in this match, with a lack of precision and clear ideas, especially from the team from the capital.

Luis Enrique took this game seriously and fielded his brilliant midfield trio, including a revitalized Vitinha after his hat-trick against Tottenham in the Champions League, but the formula did not work this time.
