Paris Saint-Germain’s struggles in the early stages of the 2026-2027 Ligue 1 season continued on Friday as they suffered a 2-1 defeat at home to Monaco, the current leaders of the French top flight. The match took place at the Parc des Princes, marking PSG’s first home game of the season.
PSG took the lead shortly after the 30-minute mark through captain Marquinhos, who scored to put the reigning European champions ahead. However, Monaco responded in the second half as Flavio Nazinho leveled the score before Belgian winger Stanis Idumbo secured the victory for the visitors.
Monaco remain unbeaten with three wins from three matches, solidifying their position at the top of the Ligue 1 standings. Meanwhile, PSG have yet to register a league win this season, extending their slow start despite high expectations.
Prior to kickoff, PSG announced that head coach Luis Enrique had signed a three-year contract extension, committing to lead the team through the 2029-2030 season. The club will now shift focus to their Champions League campaign, set to begin midweek with a home fixture against Slovan Bratislava, as they aim to capture a third consecutive continental title.
