The game: a two-faced Paris
There were two PSG. The ultra domineering, focused and attractive in the first period. And the other, less aggressive to the cleaners, too relaxed after the restart. The first was sorely lacked efficiency. The second has been punished by an opportunistic Monaco and was unable to react after the opener. With his team block in place and the ability to rapidly project, ASM has managed his side to round back before enjoying the relaxation wonderfully champion France.
Players: Ibra and Cavani too clumsy, David Luiz Carvalho guilty and ubiquitous
In Monaco, Ricardo Carvalho was an indispensable lightning rod to push many Parisians centers. Portuguese, decisive especially in the airline industry to cut trajectories, was invaluable. If Jeremy Toulalan was omnipresent in midfield and Fabinho has shown in his lane, the young Mbappe Kylian has revealed striking him.
Positioned lower, Angel Di Maria has directed the play to perfection in the first period before lift off. After the festival last weekend, Edinson Cavani and Zlatan Ibrahimovic have them sin to finish. Finally if Thiago Motta was disappointing and that Lucas was quieter than in recent weeks, David Luiz was much too cocky, especially on the action that causes the second goal.

What could have changed everything
At the 4th minute, PSG made the scoresheet through Zlatan Ibrahimovic. But Paris saw the referee disallow the goal for the Swedes a nonexistent offside. A difficult decision in real time as it is with his foot that covers Subašić Ibra. But at 1-0 after four minutes of play, the match would surely have been different.
Weekend stat: 39 months
Paris had not lost at home for 34 matches in L1. Better, PSG had not been led 0-2 on his lawn since November 3, 2012. More than 39 months. An eternity in football.
The declara: Laurent Blanc, PSG coach
“It’s always difficult to mobilize his players when they reached the target . As the game was hard to win, it would have to have mental qualities that we did not get back. it is certainly no coincidence that there has been a relaxation, but if you score that goal. .. “

the issue: the mental, the other challenge for PSG this season end?
So of course, in front it was Monaco, the second L1 which is not easy to move. Of course, Paris has shown in the first period his ability to play seriously and to seduce. He has then missed a bit of luck to Parisians to realize their domination. But as Laurent Blanc admits, PSG was able to realize this Sunday night that his late season will not be so obvious to manage it. Even well above L1, the champion of France can not afford to relax too, the second period has shown.
This time, it was not dramatic. The accomplishment in the league, White protégés have the right to error once in a game without stakes for them. But it will not take this to become a habit. To continue his dream on the European scene, Paris can not afford to finish totally freewheeling in the league. Ibra and others need to keep the pace to continue to speak up in the Champions League as they have done since the beginning of the season. And there is a mental question of mindset. With their experience, Parisians are well aware. Otherwise, the match reminded them.
