Overview
- Folarin Balogun scored twice inside 18 minutes for Monaco, including a 55‑second opener reported as the fastest PSG have conceded in the Champions League.
- PSG equalized before halftime through Désiré Doué and Achraf Hakimi, then Doué struck again after the break to complete the comeback.
- A VAR review upgraded Aleksandr Golovin’s yellow card to a red early in the second half, leaving Monaco with 10 men.
- The brace was Balogun’s first at club level since March 2024 and lifted his season tally to 10 goals in all competitions.
- His performance renewed scrutiny of Arsenal’s 2023 £35m sale, with Mikel Arteta having said then that Balogun wanted a permanent move to Ligue 1.
