PSG's victory against AS Monaco in the Champions Trophy, thanks to a late goal from Ousmane Dembélé (1-0), marked the start of an intense month of January for the Parisians. However, behind the scenes, one obsession surpasses all others: the decisive clash against Manchester City in the Champions League, scheduled for January 22.
Everyone has their head in City!
Dembélé, author of the winning goal, spoke about the state of mind of the Parisian group after this contested meeting in Doha. “Deadlines will arrive. This victory will give us a lot of confidence, it will push us. We all have the lead in Manchester City but first there are matches to win,” he confided in the mixed zone, relayed by RMC Sport. This trophy, while valuable for kicking off 2025 on a good note, appears to be a preparatory step for a much more ambitious challenge.
Despite preparing for a busy month of January, with seven matches to go, the Parisian locker room seems galvanized by this prospect. The short training session in Qatar and the victory against Monaco strengthened the cohesion of the group, an essential element to approach the meeting against the English ogre. “These moments, you spend three or four days with the group, it bonds a little. I know that with the selection. We have a close-knit group. Doing this little internship and this final, it unites the group. I hope we will win titles, qualify for the Champions League,” announces the Parisian winger, more motivated than ever at the idea of winning a decisive shock for the European future of the Parisian club.
