PSG drops points in title race after 3-1 home loss to Monaco, opening door for Lens to close gap
PARIS (AP) — Paris Saint-Germain dropped points in the Ligue 1 title race after losing 3-1 at home to a slick Monaco side on Friday. Leader PSG's fourth league defeat of the campaign could have been even heavier and rival Lens can move within one point at the top by beating rock-bottom Metz on Sunday.
Paris St-Germain suffered their fourth league defeat of the season after a 3-1 loss at home to Monaco, but remain top of Ligue 1.
The situation should also set up well for PSG to display its defensive prowess. Monaco loves to play high-event soccer, trading chances at both ends of the pitch, but Les Monégasques will know that one goal for PSG likely ends their Champions League dreams. A more pragmatic approach will be required, which should slow this match down to a crawl.
