Between two preparation training sessions, a getaway in the desert. On the sidelines of the match between AS Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain this Sunday in Doha (5:30 p.m. French time), Radoslaw Majecki, Kassoum Ouattara and Wilfried Singo blended into the local culture for a short time afterwards. -noon. The three red and white have indeed joined their Parisian counterparts inland, on the sand of Sealine Beach.
A demonstration of Arabic calligraphy
On the agenda for their meeting, a race in remote-controlled buggies, tasting of local products, posing for photos with oryxes (a kind of local goat with horns), or even a visit to a calligraphy workshop. The opportunity for our three Monegasques to leave with their names written in Arabic on a sheet of paper. All this, before the two trios challenge each other in a footvolley game.
The Monegasques victorious in the first act
For the record, it was our Rouge et Blanc who won 4-0… hoping that this is a premonition of another success! In any case, the six players then posed together on stage, in front of the cup which will be awarded to the winner of the Visit Qatar Champions Trophy.

While waiting for the big meeting on Sunday at Stadium 974, with the real opposition between AS Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain (kick-off 5:30 p.m.), which the Rouge et Blanc worked hard to prepare earlier in the daytime. ????
