Paris Saint-Germain coach Mauricio Pochettino believes their Champions League exit is the reason for their poor form in Ligue 1.
They are only 11 days apart from one of their most disappointing results in recent years, losing 3-1 to Real Madrid and going out on aggregate, despite dominating most of the tie over two legs.
Pochettino said after the Monaco result to reporters: "I'm disappointed with the way we started the game. It's unacceptable. At this level, you can't start a game the way we did.
"We can be happy going into half-time at only 1-0 down because they could have had two or three.
"In the second half, it was better, we created chances but we paid for our first half. I think it's really not acceptable to start a match the way we did."
