Saint-Germain won the Champions Trophy by winning 1-0 against AS Monaco thanks to a goal from Ousmane Dembélé in added time.

Paris Saint-Germain won the Champions Trophy against AS Monaco (1-0) thanks to a late goal from Ousmane Dembélé. Despite Parisian domination in the first half, Monegasque goalkeeper Köhn made numerous saves, notably repelling a strike from Doué on the bar, to keep the score level at half-time.

In the second half, Monaco was more dangerous, with a recovery from Vanderson on the post and a shot from Ben Seghir saved by Donnarumma. PSG responded with attempts from Hakimi and Doué, without success, before the pace of the match slowed down.

In stoppage time, Paris made the difference with a cross from Ruiz taken by Dembélé at the far post. This goal gave PSG its 13th coronation in this competition, at the end of a meeting long blocked by the brilliant performance of Köhn.
