Marco Verratti has given way to Ander Herrera in midfield but for the rest Mauricio Pochettino has chosen to renew the winning formula of Camp Nou.
But his 4-3-3 quickly collided with the Monegasque organization.
Without rhythm or inspiration, PSG disappointed and lost to Monaco (2-0).
Navas: 4.
Caught at close range on the first goal, it is too far on Maripan's perfect shot.
No other opportunities to shine except by his kicking game on back passes.
Florenzi: 4.5.
He left Volland behind on the first goal and struggled to gain the offensive advantage over his opponent who neutralized him well in his right lane.
Two good centers not rewarded.
Marquinhos: 4.
Few interventions.
Near Navas when Ben Yedder adjusts his head, he lacks presence to prevent Maripan from hitting on the second.
Kimpembe: 4.
Embarked on the right side on the Monaco goal to compensate for the absence of Florenzi, he missed in the axis.
On the second goal he is initially too short of the head, then deflects the ball.
Strong to intervene in front of Tchouaméni (47th), he made a big mistake in the wake and was warned (50th).
Risk taking in addition.
Kurzawa: 3.
He forgets Aguilar at the far post on the first goal.
The left-back was not more effective offensively.
To his credit: a coiled free kick that grazes the skylight (16th).

Herrera: 2.
Lost on the right side of midfield, he never made Verratti forget.
On the contrary.
A catastrophic evening symbolized by his intercepted restart which leads to the second goal.
Replaced by Verratti from the 55th.
The Italian allowed his team to advance further.
Paredes: 3.5
.
Sentinel in front of the defense, he was forced to play sideways without ever finding the flaw like this too long opening (24th).
Warned in the 57th for a tackle on Fofana, he leaves his place to Danilo (73rd) who will dare a header and a strike ... ten meters from Lecomte's goal each.
Gueye: 3.
Loss of ball, technical waste: an evening without any relief except a nice long shot (35th).
Warned for a shirt pulling after missing a pass (45th) and logically replaced by Rafinha at the same time as Herrera (55th) but too late ...
Kean: 4.5.
The Italian striker tried to impose his power and was for a long time the only Parisian capable of bringing danger.
Sometimes valuable defensively.
Too bad he does not support his head full axis (60th).
Icardi: 2.
We saw him very little until his replacement by Draxler (73rd).
The Argentine was taken by the Monegasque defense and no one managed to find him.
A missed shot from the right which falls just above the bar (7th).
And that's all.
Mbappé: 2.
He made his first breakthrough on the left side in the 34th but missed almost everything else.
Far from his success in Barcelona, he never benefited from spaces and he lost a large number of balls.
Warned for a bad move on Disasi (90th + 3).
