According to barcablaugranes.com:
Hansi Flick made a surprising decision to include Eric García in the starting lineup and beef up the midfield for an European game on the road, and his choice backfired after just 10 minutes: Marc-André ter Stegen made a bad pass that put Eric in a tough spot, and the defender fouled Takumi Minamino at the edge of the box and was shown a straight red card for denying a clear goalscoring opportunity.
Maghnes Akliouche opened scoring for the French Ligue 1 side in the 16th minute, Lamine Yamal levelled for the visitors in the 28th minute.
G. Ilenikhena sealed win for Monaco in the 71st minute.
