Alexander Golovin and his Monaco started the season weakly. In the first three rounds of Ligue 1, the Monegasques first beat Strasbourg, then drew with Rennes and sensationally flew 1:4 at home to Lansu. Weak result for a team claiming at least second place behind PSG. In parallel, Monaco lost to PSV in the Champions League qualification and will play a new European campaign in the LE. Golovin did not score a single point in these matches.
The chance to improve “Monaco” and Golovin fell in the fourth round. The rivals are the formidable PSG with Mbappe, Messi and Neymar. It seemed that in Paris, the local stars would give the guests a dressing down, but Monaco unexpectedly played the game – they defended competently, quickly covered PSG’s attacks in the center of the field and unclenched their own with a spring. In the 20th minute, it worked – Golovin made a cutting pass through the half of the field, and Kevin Foland opened the scoring in the match. There is the first effective action of Alexander!
In the second half, Golovin was no longer so noticeable, but he continued to actively plow without the ball and even led the team’s pressure. He was substituted in the 63rd minute. Paris still had a hard time with game settings, even though Messi, Mbappe and Hakimi hit the post once. The match for PSG was saved by Neymar, who earned money in the 70th minute and confidently converted a penalty himself.
But the fans following the game noted first of all Golovin, who played a really cool match. Even Messi and Mbappe looked pale once morest his background.
This is PSG’s first points loss of the new season, having previously scored 17 goals in three games.
