Monaco midfielder Cesc Fabregas has targeted a thinly veiled offense at Paris Saint-Germain by stating that they weren’t fully focused against their side when they fell to defeat.
Paris Saint-Germain suffered their third league defeat of the season on Friday night when they blew a 2-0 lead in Monaco to lose 3-2.
Kylian Mbappé had given the French giants a 2-0 lead in 37 minutes, a score they held until the 52nd minute, when Kevin Volland pulled one back.
Thirteen minutes later, the Monaco striker leveled before Fabregas scored the final penalty after PSG defender Abdou Diallo was sent off for a foul on Volland.
The result saw second-placed Monaco close the gap with Ligue 1 leaders PSG to four points and Fabregas believes his opponents thought the game was over after taking a two-goal lead.
PSG host RB Leipzig in the Champions League on Tuesday night, in a crucial game if they want to reach the round of 16 stage.
Thomas Tuchel’s team is currently third in that group, three points behind Leipzig and Manchester United.
And Fabregas feels the next game took priority for his title rivals, which worked in Monaco’s favor.
“We were hoping that if we scored a goal then the pressure would be on PSG,” Chaine told Telefoot.
We knew they had a tough match on Tuesday against Leipzig, so we expected them to be a little less aggressive in the second half.
“For PSG it is very difficult, they have many players who returned late from their national teams, after that they have the Champions League and if they lose on Tuesday, it will be difficult for them to go to knockouts.
“Their heads were maybe already a bit on Tuesday, so we took this opportunity.”
