Real Madrid and PSG Lose Their First Games in the Domestic Leagues

Real Madrid missed a late penalty and PSG blew a lead as both clubs lost for the first time in league play.

  • On Friday, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain suffered their opening league defeats of the season. Madrid fell to Real Betis, while PSG lost at home to Monaco.
  • Irish striker Troy Parrott scored for Real Betis, handing Madrid its first loss since coach Jose Mourinho returned. Kylian Mbappe's injury-time penalty was saved by goalkeeper Alvaro Valles.
  • Reigning European champions PSG took an early lead through Marquinhos in the 31st minute, but Monaco rallied with goals from Flavio Nazinho in the 58th and Stanis Idumbo in the 72nd.
  • Hours before the loss, PSG announced contract extensions for coach Luis Enrique and several players including Lucas Beraldo, Senny Mayulu, Willian Pacho, and Fabian Ruiz securing their futures.
  • Monaco currently leads Ligue 1 as the only team to win all its opening matches. PSG's struggles follow draws against Rennes and Lille, plus a French Super Cup loss to Lens last month.
