French Media Criticize PSG Players Following Monaco Loss
Harsh Reviews for PSG After Loss to Monaco
PSG faced tough criticism from the French press after dropping another Ligue 1 match. The team was defeated 2-1 by Monaco in a game that saw several players receive poor ratings from media outlets.
French Press Ratings Highlight Disappointment
The scores given by L’Equipe expose the general dissatisfaction with many of the Parisian players. Goalkeeper Matvey Safonov earned a low rating, which was mirrored by defenders like Pacho and midfielders such as Vitinha and Joao Neves. Others including Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Warren Zaire-Emery, Fabrian Ruiz, and Desire Doue also failed to impress critics.
The only players who received some praise were Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Magnes Akliouche. Interestingly, aside from Akliouche, all starters were returning from last season, hinting that better team chemistry might be expected but has yet to materialize.
Player Ratings from L’Equipe for PSG vs Monaco
- Safonov: 3
- Hakimi: 5
- Marquinhos: 5
- Pacho: 4
- Zaïre-Emery: 5
- Vitinha: 4
- J. Neves: 4
- F. Ruiz: 5
- Akliouche: 6
- D. Doué: 5
- Kvaratskhelia: 6
Concerns Beyond the Pitch
Goalkeeper Safonov's form is a growing worry. He has conceded 6 goals from 9 shots on target early in the season, which is troubling for the team's defensive record. Results have been slow to come, but questions remain about the impact of summer signing Lucas Digne and his uncertain situation.
Meanwhile, speculation around a possible transfer involving a key PSG player and Chelsea adds to the ongoing intrigue surrounding the squad.
