Paris Saint Germain are still searching for their first Ligue 1 win of the season after three domestic fixtures, and Monaco left Parc des Princes with another reminder of how quickly the champions can lose control. Marquinhos put PSG ahead after 31 minutes with a close-range header, but the lead did not last.
PSG's first league win is still missing
BBC’s live report summed up the night neatly: champions Paris St-Germain are still searching for their first Ligue 1 win of the season after surrendering the lead to suffer a late defeat by Monaco. That leaves PSG on 0 domestic wins from 3 fixtures, with the early table already showing them 13th.
The worry for Paris Saint Germain is not just the result, but the pattern. They scored first, then let Monaco back in after half-time. Flávio Nazinho equalised 13 minutes into the second half, and Stanis Idumbo Muzambo scored 14 minutes later to complete the turnaround.
Monaco's early momentum
BBC’s report also noted that Monaco move top of the table after maintaining their 100% start, while PSG fall to 12th. That is a strong opening from Monaco, even before you get to the comeback itself.
The bigger point is that this was not a one-off wobble from PSG. Losing after leading at half-time has happened to them only once since March 2021, when Nantes beat them, and this result fits the same theme of a side that has not yet settled into the season.
The cleanest takeaway is simple: PSG are still winless in Ligue 1 after three domestic games, and Monaco leave this one with three points, a top-of-the-table place, and a result that underlines the difference between the two starts.
