Paris Saint-Germain experienced a breathtaking night against AS Monaco. Held to a 2-2 draw at the Parc des Princes, the Parisians secured their qualification for the 2025-2026 Champions League Round of 16 thanks to their 3-2 first-leg victory. But they came dangerously close to disaster.
The final minutes were unbearable. Monaco’s equalizer in stoppage time, followed immediately by a huge chance that could have forced extra time… Paris trembled until the very last second.
Tension and Relief at the Parc des Princes
At just 20 years old, Désiré Doué admitted the intensity of the moment: “Yes of course, when they score at the end and have one last chance, there is stress and it’s scary.” A sincere confession that reflected a team that bent but did not break.
Despite the scare, PSG managed to respond after falling behind. Doué chose to focus on the collective effort: “Overall, we reacted well, went back in front, and delivered a great team performance. There were key moments in the game, we managed to come back after trailing, and we’ll try not to concede in the next matches.”
Paris doubted, Paris suffered. But Paris remains standing in the Champions League. And that is what truly matters.
