Troubled PSG face Monaco without Mbappe to solve their problems

PSG have not won in the Principality since 2020. That 15 January was the last time, and thanks to Kylian Mbappe. Their star man is no longer there, and the Ligue 1 leaders need to wake up to break the curse that has hindered them on their last few visits to Monaco.

In regular competition, that was the last time the Parc des Princes club were victorious at the Stade Louis-II. A 1-4 win for the now Real Madrid player with his brace. Neymar and Pablo Sarabia joined the party, while Tiemoue Bakayoko scored the consolation goal.

Since then, Monaco have racked up three consecutive wins - 3-2, 3-0 and 3-1 - and a 0-0 draw on 1 March. Back to the present, the leaders have 37 points with Luis Enrique at the helm and are still undefeated. But the worst thing is that this is not the only concern.

In the Champions League, PSG are virtually eliminated with Manchester City at home and Stuttgart in Germany to come. And with the French Super Cup looming on the horizon, there is pressure to overcome what could be the Asturian's first serious challenge in Paris.
