The Parisians were all in agreement at the end of this trap match against Monaco and at the same time, consensus was in order.
By giving up their first points of the season after this draw (1-1) against Monegasques who played well, the Reds and Blues are coming down from the little cloud on which they were perched after the first three days.
“It was not an easy match, conceded Sergio Ramos at the microphone of Prime Video.
It's a team that has changed its system, it was hard to answer.
It's a result that doesn't necessarily suit us, but in a match like this, it's better to know how to take a point than nothing at all.

Best Parisian on the pitch this Sunday evening, in the oven and in the mill to respond to the Monegasque intensity, Marco Verratti went in the same direction: “We were a little shaken at the start.
Football today is played a lot on duels.
In the second half, we made fewer technical errors.
They were playing one on one, they were tight and physical so it was hard to find spaces.
The first 30 minutes, we were surprised by the aggressiveness of Monaco.

"A useful match", say Verratti and Galtier
“On occasions, we deserve this victory but it's football, continued the Italian, still on Prime Video.
You have to throw a ball in front more for Kylian, better find depth, movement, maybe be a little less organized.
We always want to win with lots of goals, but it's a useful game.

“Useful” is exactly the word used by Christophe Galtier, the Parisian coach, to qualify this draw.
"They managed to neutralize our offensive sector, we lacked mobility," he told Prime.
In the second half, it was different.
I asked for more mobility and technical accuracy, to refocus Leo, more in depth with Ney and Kylian.
“In the mixed zone, Nuno Mendes for his part underlined a match” difficult, like all matches in Ligue 1 “.
“Monaco are a good team that got into the game well, we had trouble getting the balls out at the start.
We managed to put our game in place little by little.
From there, the match was closely contested.
It's a good draw, even if we always work for the victory.

He was there with Alex (Nübel) who is starting the championship very well.
Satisfied ?
That's the right word.
You have to be honest, PSG had some good chances.
But I'm happy because my players have been very disciplined, with good commitment and personality.
When you can take points here, you can take points everywhere.
