Monaco Top Ligue 1 With 2-1 Win Over PSG

The defeat leaves Paris Saint‑Germain without a league win after three matches, putting their defense under fresh scrutiny before the Champions League opener.

Overview

  • Monaco came from behind to beat Paris Saint‑Germain 2-1 at the Parc des Princes, moving to nine points from three wins after the match on Friday.
  • PSG captain Marquinhos opened the scoring with a goal that stood after a VAR check, but Flavio Nazinho headed the equaliser and Stanis Idumbo struck the winner in the second half.
  • Hours before kick‑off PSG announced Luis Enrique had extended his contract until 2030 and that several players had new deals, a move that was overshadowed by the home defeat.
  • The result leaves reigning domestic and European champions PSG without a win in their first three league games, their worst domestic start in 14 years after earlier 2-2 draws with Rennes and Lille.
  • Monaco’s victory came despite late transfer‑window turmoil that saw Folarin Balogun left out of the squad, and PSG now face pressure to fix defensive lapses ahead of next week’s Champions League opener.
