Paris Saint-Germain display no signs of slowing down as they get ready to face AS Monaco in this weekend’s major Ligue 1 fixture.
Key Stats
1. PSG has now prevailed by a score of five goals or more in four straight Ligue 1 contests. This weekend they can accomplish it one more time, breaking Reims’ record from 1952.
2. In Ligue 1, AS Monaco has defeated PSG 44 times. No other team in France’s top flight has a better record when facing PSG. However, Monaco would have lost two straight Ligue 1 matches for the first time since August 2021 if it lost this game.
3. Neymar and Mbappe have both individually scored more goals in Ligue 1 than the whole Monaco team.
4. PSG had gone undefeated in their previous 23 Ligue 1 games, winning 20 and drawing 3.
5. Monaco haven’t lost any of their last six away games in Ligue 1. From December 2017 to April 2018, they had a seven-game winning streak, which was the previous mark.
Player to watch – Neymar
The Brazilian superstar Neymar, who is presently PSG’s greatest player, has improved this year. It is a really high compliment, considering Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi are also members of the French powerhouses. Neymar has five goals and six assists in just three games, but AS Monaco will have to play virtually flawlessly to stop the Samba craze. He can also be used as a decoy to draw attention to himself so Messi and Mbappe can focus on what they like to do. At the age of 30, Neymar is still playing some of his best games ever, and he will be difficult to stop.
Since winning three of their past four Ligue 1 games, Monaco has emerged as a bogey team for PSG. The challenge could prove to be even more challenging this time.
