Monaco is experiencing a very special Monday. Niko Kovac's pupils returned this Sunday with the Paris jackpot: the three points. Those from the Principality went to the capital to face a Paris Saint-Germain that had been launched after thrashing Barcelona in the Champions League but could not overcome the rojiblanco defensive network until they ended up falling 0-2.
Before the first quarter of an hour, Sofiane Diop closed an excellent play with a cross from the left that Rubén Aguilar took down for him to score at will. The second came at the beginning of the second part. Ander Herrera was about to get the ball played when, from his back, he appeared Maripán, former Alavés, to steal the ball in the middle of the area, outlined for his right hand and define with a soft hit from inside as if it were a nine.
When the referee whistled the end, the joy overflowed. Monaco managed to take the six points of the year for the first time since 09-10 against andl PSG, as in the first round they won 3-2 at Stade Louis II on matchday 11. That afternoon his ex, Mbappé, got a double that ended up being traced back.
These two victories were remembered this Sunday by the official accounts of Monaco on social networks. Through Twitter, directly, they boasted and offered themselves for a 'coaching' session to Barcelona on how to overcome in the Champions League. “Barcelona, if you need advice, send us a DM (acronym for 'direct message' in English),” they offered.
This victory places them in fourth place, six points behind the leader, Lille, and just two behind PSG, which has 54 and is third in the standings.
