Paris Saint-Germain is in a fight for the Ligue 1 title. The capital club hoped to use the momentum from their UEFA Champions League victory over FC Barcelona to secure top spot in Ligue 1. 

Nonetheless, Les Parisiens fell on their face as they lost 2-0 to AS Monaco, who are now two points behind PSG in the Ligue 1 standings. Meanwhile, the French giants trail Lille OSC by four paints and Olympique Lyonnais by one. 

After the match, manager Mauricio Pochettino spoke to the media, where Canal Supporters relayed his words when discussing the defeat. 

“The matches and the competitions are different. Monaco had a good game. We did not have a good game. We did not produce the same thing as Monaco,” Pochettino said.

Furthermore, the Argentine tactician touched on the title race in Ligue 1 as PSG sits four points from first place. 

“We cannot change reality; we will continue to fight. We will fight to the end as long as it is possible. We haven’t been here for very long. We will continue to work to improve and find solutions,” Pochettino said.
