Troubled PSG face Monaco without Mbappe to solve their problems

PSG have not won in the Principality since 2020. January 15 was the last time, and thanks to Kylian Mbappe. Their star man is no longer there and the Ligue 1 leaders need to wake up to break the curse that has hindered them on their last few visits to Monaco.

In regular competition, it was the last time the Parc des Princes club won at Stade Louis-II. A 1-4 win for the now Real Madrid player with his brace. Neymar and Pablo Sarabia joined the party, while Tiemoue Bakayoko scored the consolation goal.

Since then, Monaco has gone strong three wins in a row – 3-2, 3-0 and 3-1 – and a 0-0 draw on 1 March. Back to the present, the leaders have 37 points with Luis Enrique at the helm and are still unbeaten. But the worst part is that this is not the only concern.

In the Champions League, PSG is pretty much eliminated with Manchester City at home and Stuttgart in Germany going forward. And with the French Super Cup looming on the horizon, the pressure is on to overcome what could be the Asturian’s first serious challenge in Paris.
