This Sunday, January 5, Paris Saint-Germain crosses swords with AS Monaco in the final of the Champions Trophy, marking the first major official meeting of the year 2025. The Parisians are aiming for their 13th title in this competition, while that the Monegasques aspire to register their name on the list for the 5th time, a goal that they have not achieved since 2001.
A meeting in a prestigious setting
After several discussions around the choice of location, it is finally in Doha, Qatar, that this prestigious poster will be competed for. Stadium 974, this iconic stadium, used during the 2022 World Cup, will host a new high-level opposition between the two Ligue 1 giants.
PSG, led by Luis Enrique, approaches this final with full confidence. In December, the Parisians had a string of convincing results with resounding successes against Salzburg (0-3), Lyon (3-1) and Monaco (2-4) in Ligue 1, before winning on penalties against in Lens (1-1, tab 3-4) during the 32nd finals of the Coupe de France. Ousmane Dembélé and his partners will be keen to lift the first trophy of the season in front of the Qatari public.

Monaco in search of revenge
AS Monaco, on the other hand, concluded the year 2024 on a more mixed note. Despite a few victories, notably against Toulouse (2-0) in the league and Union Saint-Jean (1-4) in the Cup to end the year 2024, Adi Hütter’s men lost three times in December, notably against Marseille (2-1), Arsenal (3-0), and their Parisian opponent (2-4) during their last face-to-face. This duel represents an opportunity to take revenge and restart with good momentum.
PSG are favorites, but Monaco hopes to take revenge after the recent defeat against the Parisians in the championship. This match promises to be intense and could set the tone for the rest of the season.
