Half-mastered encounter
Before the return match against PSV Eindhoven on Tuesday (3rd round of the Champions League), the Monegasques seduced in the first act.
Without Ben Yedder left on the bench, the attack of the Red and Whites knew how to make people talk about it.
Diatta notably offered himself a jewel in the first period (43rd), rewarding months of struggle after his injury.
Diop also participated in the party from the start of the second act (53rd).
Yes, but now, Monaco likes to be scared.
They had the match perfectly in hand, and yet Philippe Clément's men folded for the first time by conceding a nice goal from Diallo's head (1-2, 65th).
The latter are, from that moment, out of their meeting and offered many opportunities to the RCSA.
Diallo was not far from doubling the mark at the very end of the match, but the VAR decided otherwise... Nubel also saved his team twice on his line, a few seconds from the final whistle .
