In a thrilling Ligue 1 showdown at Stade Louis II, AS Monaco showed commendable spirit but were eventually overpowered by Paris Saint-Germain, suffering a 4-2 defeat on Wednesday evening. The match, which was attended by HSH Prince Albert II and AS Monaco's president Dmitry Rybolovlev, saw the home team rally impressively after falling behind early but struggled to maintain their momentum against the league leaders.
Despite conceding the first goal to PSG’s Désiré Doué in the 24th minute, Monaco responded robustly in the second half. Eliesse Ben Seghir leveled the score with a composed penalty in the 54th minute, followed swiftly by a goal from Breel Embolo, putting Monaco temporarily ahead. However, PSG’s strength in depth tipped the balance as Ousmane Dembélé equalized, and substitute Gonçalo Ramos later added another, with Dembélé sealing the victory in stoppage time.
While the defeat was a setback, it underscored Monaco’s resilience and ability to challenge top-tier opponents. The team is now focusing on their next encounter in the Coupe de France against Union Saint-Jean on Saturday, aiming to leverage their attacking prowess for a strong comeback.
