PSG Clinches French Super Cup Victory

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has emerged victorious in the French Super Cup, narrowly defeating Monaco 1-0 in the final. The match’s lone goal came from Ousmane Dembélé in stoppage time. The showdown took place in Doha, notably the country that financially backs PSG.

The game began with PSG dominating, nearly taking an early lead when Doue’s shot struck the woodwork. Attempts from Kang-in Lee, Dembélé, and Vitinha either missed the target or were thwarted by an impressive Kohn in goal. PSG entered halftime feeling they could have secured a lead in this crucial match.

After the break, the tables turned as Monaco created the clearer chances. Akliouche hit the post, while Donnarumma made several crucial saves. In the closing stages, PSG began to threaten again, more due to the expected narrative than their performance. Just when penalties seemed inevitable, Dembélé connected with Fabian’s cross in the 92nd minute, securing the win for PSG. Monaco had no time to respond to this late goal, leaving PSG with a narrow victory and the title.

This triumph marks PSG’s first trophy of the season and Luis Enrique’s fourth title as the team’s manager. It’s also PSG’s thirteenth French Super Cup, their third in consecutive years.
