AS Monaco vs Paris Saint-Germain: Lineups and LIVE updates (Goal.com)

PSG look to gallop towards another Ligue 1 title as hosts Monaco compete for a Champions League spot.

PSG then welcomes Christophe Galtier's former side Lille on the 19th of February before traveling to Stade Velodrome to face Marseille on the 27th of February. Unfortunately for Galtier, PSG’s last two encounters against their opposition of the night have seen them drop points. AS Monaco’s form since the showdown in Qatar has been nothing short of magnificent.

Monaco 3-1 PSG: Player ratings as Ben Yedder brace sinks ... (90min)

With a heavyweight Champions League tie to come against Bayern Munich on Tuesday, PSG lined up with an eclectic starting XI. Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi were ...

Christophe Galtier - 2/10 - Robbed of numerous first-team players but still equipped with enough talent to construct a lineup which didn't implode. The hosts prepared for a European tie of their own - against Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League - by taking their points tally to a league-high 17 in 2023. Though the finger of incompetence couldn't be pointed his way. More comfortable in midfield. Galtier reacted by scrapping his 3-5-2 formation within 20 minutes of kickoff, sending Danilo Pereira out of the backline and into midfield. Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi were injured but Christophe Galtier opted to start three first-choice defenders on the bench.
