PSG started the new year as it ended the previous one: with a victory over Monaco. Two weeks after winning at the Stade Louis II in the championship, the capital club did it again during the Champions Trophy organized in Qatar. But while the Parisians had achieved a most convincing success in the Principality in December, this time they had to wait for added time and a goal from Ousmane Dembélé to overcome the Monegasques.
The hero of the evening obviously did not shy away from his pleasure at the end of the meeting. “In the end, we win. We are all very happy with the result, he confided in the mixed zone. It was a hard-fought match. We return after ten days of vacation. It was a match with a lot of intensity, it changed for us, we are happy. When I look up after the goal, I see Joao Neves and everyone else running towards me, it’s nice. Overall, it was a deserved victory. Monaco had its chances and could have been in front. If you don’t win this final, this trophy, you tell yourself that you’re off to a bad start this month of January. »
“We all have our minds at Manchester City”
And the month of January promises to be crucial for the rest of the season for the French champions. Consequence of the Parisians’ last two meetings in the Champions League, culminating in the clash against Manchester City on January 22. A meeting that already obsesses Luis Enrique’s troops. “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 said.
According to the French world champion, these few days in Qatar could also be particularly beneficial for the future. “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,” he said.
