In the marathon of this beginning of the year, Paris Saint-Germain can boast of having some landmarks, such as the recurrence of certain opponents. To start a month of February which will be marked by the double-confrontation against the Brest stadium in the sixteenth final of the Champions League, it is AS Monaco, another recent victim, which still crossed the champions of France on Friday on Friday evening.
The last two confrontations between the two clubs had experienced the same outcome: a stunning PSG victory over the rock in the league in early December 2024 (4-2), then another success acquired at the end of the night during the Champions Trophy in Doha At the beginning of January 2025 (1-0).
