30'
Diop, who has been lively this game, shoots from outside the box, but his effort deflects into the air off a PSG boot and Donnarumma is scrambling back, but it's over the bar. The following corner comes to nothing as Gueye snatches the ball off Ben Yedder and wins PSG a goal-kick.
28'
Messi's free-kick beats the wall but it flies harmlessly over Nubel's bar. That was a disappointing set-piece from the 2021 Ballon d'Or winner.
27'
This game is becoming an end-to-end contest and Maripan brings down Di Maria from behind, resulting in a PSG free-kick from around 30-yards out. Messi is standing over this one.
26'
9 - Djibril Sidibé has conceded 9 penalties since his debut in Ligue 1 in 2012/13, no current elite player has done worse over the period. Scuttling.
25'
Diop's cross to the far post is nodded back on goal by Tchouameni but Donnarumma comes out to make a strong punch with his right hand, crashing into his team-mate Marquinhos in the process.
24'
Tchouameni's cross into the box is headed across goal by Ben Yedder looking for Diop. There are appeals for a penalty after Diallo pulls down Diop but there is not a VAR check.
22'
Mbappe sprints down the left and attempts an adventurous cross to Di Maria on the opposite flank, but his cross flies out for a goal-kick. Mbappe's pace is terrifying for defenders and he looks motivated to impress against his old club.

YELLOW! For Mbappe after he brings down Diop.

Diallo pulls down Ben Yedder and Monaco have a another free-kick. The visitors have not started particularly badly and really it was one piece of poor judgement from Sidibe which is why Monaco are behind.
14'
Sidibe is fouled by Gueye and Monaco have a free-kick on the right flank. Golovin swings the ball into the box and Disasi meets it, but he cannot make a clean connection and PSG can clear.
12'
GOAL! MBAPPE PUTS PSG IN FRONT! Mbappe slots his penalty low to the Nubel's right into the bottom corner against his former club. It's 143 goals in 193 games for Mbappe at PSG.

Referee Bastien is going over to the video monitor to have a closer look. It looks a penalty as Sidibe stuck his left boot out and tripped Di Maria up.
8'
VAR! Di Maria cuts in and shoots on the edge of the box but his shot deflects over the bar. From the following corner, Di Maria goes down in the box and there will be a VAR check for this. Di Maria looks to have been caught by Sidibe as he surged into the area. The Argentine stays down on the ground.
6'
CHANCE! Sidibe's cross looking for Ben Yedder is cut out by Marquinhos. PSG are starting to commit more men forward in search of an opener. Bernat and Mbappe play a slick one-two and the Spaniard finds Wijnaldum inside the box, but he sweeps his near-post effort over the bar! It was a lovely team move from PSG.
4'
Monaco have begun confidently and are winning the possession battle at the moment.
2'
OFF THE POST! Monaco so nearly take an early lead! Diop steals the ball off Verratti deep inside the PSG half. He plays a neat one-two with Ben Yedder inside the box before firing his shot beyond Donnarumma, but it smashes off the inside of the post! What a start that would have been from Monaco!
