"The champions were left shell-shocked when Folarin Balogun nodded Monaco in front, finishing off a lightning counter sparked after Nuno Mendes was dispossessed. Aleksandr Golovin led the charge and teed up the former Arsenal striker, who made no mistake. Still reeling, PSG responded with intent and began to dominate, carving Monaco open at will. Joao Neves should have hauled them level but blazed a glorious chance over the bar."
"PSG were handed an instant lifeline when Wout Faes clumsily felled Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in the box, prompting the referee to award a penalty. But the misery deepened as Vitinha's tame effort from the spot was superbly kept out by Philipp Kohn, preserving Monaco's two-goal cushion. Luis Enrique rolled the dice early, hauling off Ballon d'Or winner Ousmane Dembele before the half-hour mark. The bold call paid off instantly, as his replacement Doue rifled home from the left to spark the comeback."
