Paris Saint-Germain are up against Montpellier in Ligue 1 in a bid to retain their position at the top of the table.

Paris Saint-Germain have a formidable record against Montpellier with nine wins in their last 10 encounters scoring 37 goals in those 10 games. They will then return to Champions League action with a big game against Bayern Munich on 15th February. After winning their previous game against Auxerre 2-0, Montpellier can win consecutive league games for the first time since August 2022.

Since the World Cup, PSG have looked more like a midtable team than a dominant force, and time's running out to make fixes. What's going wrong?

Of course, Paris were against it because they didn't have much money to spend in January -- not more than 20 million euros, according to sources familiar with the situation -- but Luis Campos has let the club and the team down by not being able, regardless of where the fault lies, to strengthen the squad at a time when they need it most. After trying various formations -- the 3-4-1-2, after the 4-3-3, after the 4-3-1-2 and after the flat 4-4-2 -- he is running out of time to find the right formula. [Bayern Munich](/soccer/team?id=132) are also experiencing a mini-crisis in the Bundesliga -- three straight 1-1 draws to resume league play -- and [Real Madrid](/soccer/team?id=86) have not played great since the restart either, losing the Spanish Supercopa to [Barcelona](/soccer/team?id=83). [Qatar](/soccer/team?id=4398) and how far many of PSG's players went in the competition, especially Messi (who won with [Argentina](/soccer/team?id=202)), Mbappe (who lost in the final) and [Achraf Hakimi](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/240233/Achraf-Hakimi) (who was a key part of [Morocco](/soccer/team?id=2869)'s amazing semifinal run.) Others point out that PSG isn't the only major club enduring a post-World Cup slump: Milan are also going through a bad patch, with five points from five Serie A matches since the restart, an early exit from the Coppa Italia and a heavy defeat against rivals Inter in the Italian Supercoppa. This is not the right time to be experimenting or finding solutions to problems that have always been there. [Marseille](/soccer/team?id=176) in the French Cup. However, if they don't find a way to turn things around quickly -- and while The lack of protection from midfield and the absence of a real defensive holding player has hurt the team massively and, of course, the lack of defensive efforts from the all-star trio up front (though Neymar has been trying to press) has also been hard for the other eight players on the pitch to cover since the turn of the year. On Tuesday, Galtier rejected the possibility of dropping one of the MNM from the starting XI; frankly, he would not have had the courage to do it anyway even if he thought it was the right move. Against smaller teams, their talent would ultimately come out on top, but in tough games, they would seemingly wait for the genius of the "MNM" to ultimately turn matches in their favour. They also didn't struggle to move the ball and retain possession against the champions given PSG's inefficient counter-press and disorganized defensive shape. Before the World Cup, the MNM were more involved defensively than they have been so far in 2023.

Hakim Ziyech will not join Paris Saint-Germain on loan after they failed to get approval from the French league, leaving him stranded at Chelsea.

[GOAL revealed earlier on Wednesday](https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/psg-appeal-hakim-ziyech-loan-transfer-collapse-chelsea-wrong-documents-three-times/blta608ee2fb33fcbfb), causing PSG to launch an appeal which has now been rejected.

Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe got a second chance at an early penalty against Montpellier on Wednesday but was denied again.

Not long after the pair of misses, Mbappe was forced off with an apparent injury. THE BIGGER PICTURE: Penalty duties have been a point of contention throughout the season at PSG. Goalkeeper Benjamin Lecomte was the hero for Montpellier, keeping the match scoreless despite the VAR decision.

Messi curled a shot just wide (84') and then saw Lecomte save another effort (86') before Arnaud Nordin reduced PSG's advantage to one with a finely measured shot from the edge of the box (89'). A wonderful through ball from Messi to Ekitike saw the young striker rattle a post (62') before Ruiz did the same for Messi, who after taking a touch with his right, turned the ball beyond Lecomte with his favoured left to double the hosts' lead with his 14th goal of the season (72').
