PSG Humiliated Before Season-Defining Champions League and Ligue 1 Fixtures

That is how Montpellier midfielder Morgan Sanson described his team's 3-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain (via L'Equipe).

For the champions, it was a nightmare.

Layvin Kurzawa and Angel Di Maria returned to the lineup, seemingly giving Paris a significant advantage.

The presence of Kurzawa at left-back allowed Unai Emery to deploy his preferred strategy of using hyper-aggressive full-backs to provide width.

Montpellier manager Frederic Hantz predicted this strategy and instructed his team to play passes into the gaps left by the advancing full-backs early and often.

It was an ambush on the Mediterranean.
