Incredible scenario in Monaco! Trailing 2-1, the Parisians turned the match around in the final minutes. Ramos offers a precious victory which consolidates PSG’s leadership position. An evening full of emotions…
What a crazy match this Wednesday evening on the lawn of the Louis-II stadium! Paris Saint-Germain finally defeated AS Monaco (3-2) in the final moments at the end of a match full of twists and turns. A success which allows the capital club to consolidate its position as leader of Ligue 1, now 10 points ahead of its runner-up.
A breathtaking scenario
However, everything started badly for the Parisians. After Doué (24th) opened the score, Monaco reversed the situation in less than 10 minutes in the second half, thanks to a penalty from Ben Seghir (53rd) and a goal from Embolo (60th). But Paris did not admit defeat.
Ramos, the Savior
It was Gonçalo Ramos, the Portuguese striker who arrived this summer, who sounded the revolt by reducing the gap in the 83rd minute. Then in added time, from a final corner, Spanish defender Sergio Ramos emerged to offer his team an unexpected victory (90th + 7). A goal that is worth gold in the title race.
We didn’t give up, we continued to believe in it until the end. This victory is that of a group, of a state of mind.

Paris widens the gap
Thanks to this success, PSG now counts 33 points at the top of the Ligue 1 standings, and has 10 steps ahead on its first pursuer, Olympique de Marseille (2nd, 23 pts). Monaco remains 3rd with 23 units as well.
The French championship is now taking a short break, before resuming at the beginning of January. Paris will host Angers, while ASM will travel to Brest. Meetings not to be missed for these two title contenders!
