This is our saga. The 5 good reasons to follow a match (with some adaptations sometimes). We will come back to the attractive things before each match with a mixture of seriousness and humor. Please note, this is not an exhaustive review of the issue. We continue here with the Paris Saint-Germain match this Sunday against Monaco at Stadium 974 as part of the 2024 Champions Trophy (kick-off 17h30, PSG/Monaco broadcast on DAZN).
5. Paris again winner of the Champions Trophy?
It became the PSG Trophy. In recent years, Paris has often won this Trophy hands down. It’s another opportunity to win again and give Monaco a headache. Paris has all the cards in hand to have a great encounter and win. Monaco will be keen to win.
4. A match played in Qatar (at home for PSG?)
The relocation of the match to Doha is part of Qatar’s strategy to promote its image through sport. This choice also illustrates the growing influence of Qatar in French football, offering an interesting perspective on the geopolitical issues of modern sport.
With a flocking of names in Arabic (a first) this match will be worth the detour. On and off the field, the match will be intense. It’s a “quick” title to pick up.
3. An explosive reunion.
After their match on December 18 where PSG won 4-2 in the Principality, the two teams find themselves with a desire for revenge and confirmation. For Monaco, it will be necessary to find the right keys and for PSG, it will be a question of coming back after the truce which perhaps broke the good dynamic. Whatever happens, it’s a match that’s worth a lot insofar as PSG can continue to hit their rival on the head by scoring.
2. See Doué again, after a promising end to the year.
At the end of 2024, one of the key players is called Désiré Doué. He showed that he could be something other than an understudy and inevitably, if he maintains a high level, we could consider him as a major recruit in this winter transfer window. It’s up to him to leave with the right dynamic.
1. Prepare Manchester City
If the Champions Trophy is an important match, the one coming up at the end of the month against City is even more so. PSG must recreate momentum, learn to score goals and continue to look for automatisms for major events. City are coming quickly, we shouldn’t restart them.
