I would say I expected the PSG game to end in a draw or even lead to extra time because of how much pressure Monaco put on PSG. The last time these two met, Monaco has to lose in the penalty shootout and so for it to have extended to the 90+ before PSG could get a goal only shows how much Monaco worried them.
This result is a bit painful because Monaco should have been the one to carry the trophy but since they couldn't drive home their chances well enough, I think PSG had to show them how it was done.
When everyone thought this match would end in a draw in normal time and potentially go to extra time, Ousmane Dembele became the winner in the 90+2 minute that made PSG lift the first trophy in 2025. Monaco also created several chances but Gianluigi Donnarumma, who was PSG's last line of defense, played very solidly and managed to thwart Monaco's efforts to score. I was very impressed with the fighting spirit of the Monaco players, but PSG managed to show their class as the best team in Ligue 1.
First, congratulations to Paris Saint Germain who managed to win their first title in 2025. Although for me I am not surprised with this result, because they are the best team here. The match was interesting, Paris Saint Germain dominated and they created many chances, but Monaco tried to give meaningful resistance and they were solid until the 90th minute. I think everyone also thought that this match would not end in normal time, but there would be extra time. But when everyone thought like that, a goal was scored in extra time and that made Monaco have to give up the title to Paris Saint Germain.
