Kevin Volland’s strike in the 20th minute gave the visitors the lead. Monaco goalkeeper Alexander Nubel put in a stunning display to keep the Parisiens at bay, until a Neymar penalty in the 70th minute leveled the score.
Despite PSG’s best efforts, they failed to find a winner as Galtier dropped his first points in charge of the French champions. After the game, the 55-year-old tactician was full of praise for his team’s opponents, claiming that Monaco gave his side numerous surprises.
Galtier told Le Parisien after the full-time whistle:
Christophe Galtier gives damning verdict of his PSG side following disappointing home draw
The Parisiens had won their opening three Ligue 1 encounters and scored 17 times in the process. However, PSG will undoubtedly be disappointed by their failure to find a winner against Monaco, despite creating some excellent chances.
When asked how much of a setback the draw was, Galtier admitted that his team’s performance was not good enough. He stated:
One positive for the French boss is the form of Brazilian superstar Neymar, who grabbed his sixth goal of the campaign in just four appearances.
The 30-year-old has also registered six assists so far and appears to now be the club’s first-choice penalty taker.
