Paris Saint-Germain drew 3-3 against Monaco in what is undoubtedly a highly exciting and entertaining match in Ligue 1. Both teams traded goals but neither was able to outscore the other.
This was Roberto Morenos Ligue 1 debut as a Monaco manager but hes immediately faced with a mammoth task in Paris Saint-Germain. The Spanish coach was able to bring his side to an impressive victory in his first match in charge against Reims in the round of 64 of Coupe de France but it will be a much different game against an offensively aggressive PSG.
Thomas Tuchels side were unbeaten since matchday 13 in Ligue 1, maintaining an outstanding six-match winning streak.
In this tactical analysis, well take a closer look at both teams tactics and the key statistics in this tightly-contested match.
Lineups
Tuchel deployed his team with 4-4-2 once again in this match having used the same system in their previous game as they thrashed Saint-Étienne 6-1 at home. Not a lot of tactical tweaks can be seen as Paris Saint-Germain played their usual attacking and aggressive football. However, they did seem a bit more cautious due to Monacos pace in transitions. Only two new faces came in the starting line up for this match with Keylor Navas and Thiago Silva back in the starting 11, replacing Sergio Rico and Thilo Kehrer respectively.
Moreno, on the flip side, decided to use a different system in this game, deploying his team in a 4-4-2 as well. In the previous game against Reims, Moreno used a 4-3-3 that worked well against the low-blocking side. Moreno maintained pretty much the exact same lineup as the last time out but some tactical tweaks can be seen in this game.
