PSG won an intense match against AS Monaco thanks to a crucial goal from Ousmane Dembélé in stoppage time (90'+2). Despite Parisian clear domination in terms of possession (61% in the first half) and chances, Monaco resisted with an exceptional Philipp Köhn, making eight decisive saves. The first period ended 0-0, despite a bar found by Désiré Doué (9th) and several unsuccessful attempts by Dembélé and Lee Kang-in.
In the second half, PSG intensified their offensive efforts. Monaco, well grouped, almost surprised with a shot on the post from Vanderson (55th). However, the Monegasque defense finally gave in when Fabian Ruiz sent a perfect cross to Mayulu, allowing Dembélé, isolated at the far post, to finish from the right and give the Parisians the advantage. Monaco, which tried to respond with counterattacks, could not find the fault against a vigilant Gianluigi Donnarumma. Luis Enrique's tactical changes, notably the entry of Mayulu and Barcola, proved decisive in a match where PSG's offensive animation was key.
This success confirms Parisian supremacy in this competition, where PSG has scored in 10 of its last 11 matches. AS Monaco, on the other hand, recorded another defeat in the final, extending a black streak of seven consecutive losses in high-stakes matches. PSG, well led by its executives and its decisive scorer, is ideally starting its year 2025.
