PSG's draws against Nantes and Auxerre had opened the door to challengers but it was slammed shut on an eerie evening in Monaco.
In protest against the Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP), accused of pandering to PSG's interests, Monaco's ultras boycotted the start of the top-of-the-table match, making for an eerie atmosphere unbefitting of the event.
PSG were looking to go 10 points clear at the top with a win at the Stade Louis II, a stadium where they had not won in nearly five years.
Monaco's dip in form has been exacerbated by injuries to key players, notably Denis Zakaria and Folarin Balogun, which have played a significant role in their struggles.
