At 20:00 Beijing time on March 20, a match in the 29th round of Ligue 1 was contested, and Paris Saint-Germain challenged Monaco. Although Paris Saint-Germain are out of the Champions League, there is no pressure in the league, the lead is too big, and it is firmly at the top of the table. However, paris saint-germain has been in a very unstable state in recent times, playing 5 games and losing 3 games in all competitions. This time Paris Saint-Germain faced Monaco. Paris Saint-Germain won in the first leg of the meeting, and now they are playing again, and Paris Saint-Germain, who came to the away game, was defeated and was poured 3 goals.
Pochettino lined up in a 433 formation for this game. Donalumma served as the starting goalkeeper. Mendes, Kimpembe, Marquinhos and Ashraf partnered at 4-back. Verratti, Paredes and Danilo Pereira form a three-midfielder. The attacking trident combination of Mbappe, Neymar and Wijnaldum joined forces. Messi was absent because of the flu. Icardi, Draxler and Geye sit on the bench. Di Maria and Ramos are sidelined with injuries.
After the start of the match, Monaco went into crazy attack mode, suppressing Paris Saint-Germain breathlessly. Donnarumma is the busiest player and he keeps making saves. However, the opportunities in Monaco are too many, and Donnarumma is not a god. Paris Saint-Germain lost in the 24th minute when Ben Yedder scored with a clever shot from the heel of the goal. Paris Saint-Germain played so badly that the goal conceded was justified. At the end of the half, Paris Saint-Germain trailed 1-0. Paris Saint-Germain had 50% possession in the first half, with only 5 shots on goal, 3 shots on target and no goal. Monaco, on the other hand, had 11 shots on goal in the first half, six more than Paris Saint-Germain, six of which were on target and scored one goal.
The second half was easy to fight again. Mbappe had the chance to equalise, but he wasted it. As a result, Paris Saint-Germain was again hit, by Flanders. The underperforming Neymar was replaced in the 76th minute. Although Pochettino made four substitution adjustments, it did not change the tide of the battle. In the final stage, Kimpembe sent a point, allowing Ben Yedder to rely on the penalty to score twice. The final score was set at 0-3, and Paris Saint-Germain lost miserably. Pochettino set a 12-year record of humiliation: it was the first time paris Saint-Germain had lost four consecutive away games in all competitions since the 2009/10 season.
In his post-match whoscored rating, Ben Yedder scored a game-high 8.5 points, and he scored twice. Kylian Kylian Mbappe was in a slump, scoring few shots on goal and scoring only six points on two key passes. Such a low score is very rare for Mbappe. Neymar scored 2 shots, 0 goals, 3 key passes, 2 unsuccessful attempts, and scored only 6.5 points. Donnarumma made five saves but conceded three goals to score 6.8 points. Paris Saint-Germain lost the game too completely, and the biggest person responsible was still head coach Pochettino.
