Without injured Messi and Mbappe and a couple of players more sidelined due to a virus, Paris Saint-Germain are not more than a decent mid-table side.The 3-1 away loss to AS Monaco on Saturday night proved how vulnerable Christophe Galtier’s side truly is. Vulnerable and futile.The hosts found the back of the net just four minutes into the match, as Ben Yedder made a mess on the right flank before Golovin put it behind Donnarumma for a 1-0 lead.The same side, the same player, and the same outcome – only some 15 minutes later between the two Monaco’s goals. Ben Yedder tackled PSG’s youngster Bitshiabu, took the ball from him and then finished it smoothly for 2-0.Another PSG kid, Zaire-Emery, managed to get his team back on track with a first-half goal, slotting it low on the far post, but that was all PSG could do tonight.Wissam Ben Yedder’s game by numbers vs PSG:4 duels won3 dribbles completed3 chances created3 shots2 goals1 assist0.67 xGYou’re a wizard Wissam. 🧙♂️ pic.twitter.com/Dcu6lcw3YR— Squawka (@Squawka) February 11, 2023 A few seconds before the break, Ben Yedder shone again, easily getting rid of PSG’s centre-backs to seal both the brace and his side’s victory with 45 minutes still remaining.Shorthanded PSG lose to second-place Monaco 3-1.
