Initially scheduled at the start of the season, the match between Paris Saint-Germain, reigning champion, and AS Monaco, second, has continued to be canceled. Rescheduled for January 5 in Doha, Qatar, it will shake up the Ligue 1 calendar, which had scheduled its 16th day for that weekend. The icing on the cake is a match between Monaco and PSG which must be brought forward.
A shock scheduled for December 18
August 8, 2024. August 28, 2024. And now January 5, 2025. Finally, the Professional Football League has found a date to schedule its Champions Trophy, which pits Paris Saint-Germain against AS Monaco.
