No matter how good one team might be, some rivals simply don’t fit you. They are maybe labelled as the underdogs, but those dogs know how and where to bite you, so it hurts. And they do it once, twice, three times…Mbappe missed but Neymar prevented a defeat in ParisThat’s the story of AS Monaco and their ‘genuine victim’, almighty Paris Saint-Germain. The Saints are known for their vicious attack, for dismantling the rivals both in the Ligue 1 and the Champions League, for some crazy scorelines like 6-1. However, when they face the red and whites, their luxurious mean machine somehow throttles almost instantly.PSG drop points for the first time this season, drawing AS Monaco 1-1. 👀 pic.twitter.com/okHRcmXdCL— CBS Sports Golazo ⚽️ (@CBSSportsGolazo) August 28, 2022 As we mentioned in our Sunday night match report, Monaco won three out of five ultimate matches against PSG and drew once, with only one loss.Bearing in mind that they met last night at Parc des Princes and that Monaco are stuck in the middle of the table after a disappointing season start, this achievement of theirs (1-1) sounds even more praiseworthy.🗨️ 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗲 𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: “𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑡𝑒𝑎𝑚 𝑑𝑖𝑑 𝑎 𝑔𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑡 𝑗𝑜𝑏.”The Belgian manager was very happy with the state of mind shown by his side. 🔴⚪️👉 https://t.co/7vtANoE9su‣ 1-1 #PSGASM pic.twitter.com/LOr6CjdA07— AS Monaco EN (@AS_Monaco_EN) August 29, 2022 Many thought that the visitors – who had five changes in the starting lineup compared to last week – just wanted to save themselves from an embarrassing outcome against Messi, Mbappe, Neymar and co.
