PSG spank Monaco to put pressure on Henry

By Daily Sports on November 12, 2018

Paris Saint-German continued their perfect start to the 2018-19 Ligue 1 campaign, beating struggling AS Monaco 4-0 on Sunday.

Edinson Cavani got a hat-trick and Neymar scored a penalty.

Cavani opened the scoring after just minutes, setting the tone for another easy win for PSG. He doubled his tally after 11 minutes and completed his hat-trick early in the second half. Neymar, who played a key role in the first goal and made life miserable on the Monaco full-backs all night long, scored his goal after 64 minutes.

Les Parisiens have won their first 13 matches of the season and appear to be cruising to another title. PSG barely got out of second gear Sunday after taking an early lead through Cavani, setting up another easy win against a Monaco side that has arguably been the most disappointing club in European football this season.

The win marked Les Parisiens’ 13th straight in the competition, a phenomenal feat the defending champions should rightly celebrate. But it also highlights the immense gap in quality between PSG and the rest of the league. Sportswriter Nick Harris shared this graphic showing just how uneven the playing field is: While the fans likely won’t mind things coming so easy for their team in France, the lack of competition is arguably the biggest thing holding this side back. PSG are virtually never troubled in France, and when they meet a top team in the UEFA Champions League, they too often seem unprepared.

It was the case against Liverpool earlier this season, and Napoli also managed to make Les Parisiens look uncomfortable.

Monaco is one of the few teams that has put up a fight to PSG at various points in the last few seasons. They should be pushing Les Parisiens to bigger and better things, but instead, their horrendous form will hurt the champions in the long run. (Bleacher)
