European wrap: PSG defeated in Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe's absence

Paris Saint-Germain's indifferent form continued with a 3-1 defeat by Monaco in Ligue 1.

PSG, who will take on Bayern Munich in the first leg of their Champions League clash on Tuesday, have now lost four of their last 10 games in all competitions.

They were without injured duo Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi, and went behind in just the fourth minute to Aleksandr Golovin.

Wissam Ben Yedder then netted twice either side of a goal from Warren Zaire-Emery to make it back-to-back losses for PSG following their French Cup loss to Marseille in midweek.

Marseille took advantage, closing the gap to five points at the top with a 2-0 victory over Clermont. Alexis Sanchez scored both goals, the first coming from the penalty spot.

There was better news for Bayern, who were comfortable 3-0 winners over struggling Bochum in the Bundesliga.

Thomas Muller gave the league leaders the advantage in the 41st minute, Kingsley Coman added a second in the 64th minute and Serge Gnabry netted the third from the penalty spot.

Second-placed Union Berlin remain a point behind after coming from a goal down to see off RB Leipzig 2-1.

Benjamin Henrichs gave Leipzig the lead in the 24th minute but Janik Haberer equalised just after the hour and Berlin clinched the points thanks to a penalty from Robin Knoche.

Borussia Dortmund made it six wins in a row as a 2-0 victory over Werder Bremen kept them three points behind Bayern and two adrift of Berlin.

Both goals came in the final half an hour, with Jamie Bynoe-Gittens opening the scoring and Julian Brandt grabbing the second.

It was a clean sweep for the top four, with Freiburg coming from behind to defeat Stuttgart 2-1 thanks to a penalty double from Vincenzo Grifo.
