Tonight Paris Saint-Germain achieved a great success at Monaco. In the first matchday 16 of Ligue 1, Luis Enrique’s crew won 4-2 against their direct rivals from Monaco. THE Red and blue they came back for a moment with a 2-1 lead, then the fury of Dembelé and Gonzalo Ramos fell on Hutter’s boys.
Much more is needed to destabilize the reigning French champions, as well as Ousmane Dembélé who did not hide his satisfaction with the brace scored after the match: “It was a difficult match, we know that Monaco are a good team. We did everything to go home with the victory, it wasn’t easy. Honestly , I think we deserve this victory. We never left the match. We weren’t focused for at least 15 minutes, and we paid dearly for it against Monaco, but we managed to stay in the match. The statistics speak for themselves, but we need to do better in the match content (of our games, ed)”, declared a beIN SPORTS.
