Barca stumble at Monaco after early red card

After Garcia was sent off for pulling down Takumi Minamino as he ran through, Maghnes Akliouche fired Monaco ahead.

Starlet Lamine Yamal scored a fine equaliser for Barcelona, but George Ilenikhena grabbed the winner for Monaco in the 71st minute.

Five-time winners Barcelona, last crowned European champions in 2015, have struggled in Europe in recent seasons, particularly away from home, and were brought crashing back to earth on the French Riviera.

Monaco thrashed Barcelona in a pre-season friendly and had the Catalan giants’ number for much of the clash at the Stade Louis II.

They were significantly aided by Garcia’s dismissal after 11 minutes for felling former Liverpool midfielder Minamino on the edge of the box.
