But what on earth has gotten into the AS Monaco players this Friday?
The opening match of this 29th Ligue 1 round has taken a highly surprising turn, to say the least: after just 21 minutes of play, the club from the Principality is already trailing 0-3 away to promoted side Paris FC.
This scenario is all the more surprising given that ASM has been one of the league’s in-form teams in recent weeks.
The long-range goal from France international Jonathan Ikoné, who scored twice, was the highlight of the show (and no doubt the final blow).
