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.
PSG has again managed to show us who the real ruler of the French league has been so far, although Monaco has shown a good performance and strong resistance throughout the match, but the mentality and also the unyielding attitude possessed by PSG has made them lose 1-0 from PSG.
I think, Monaco actually performed well in the match and was able to keep up with PSG game, but the solidity of their midfield and defense was not supported by the sharpness attacking line, although they managed to create several chances that threatened the PSG goal in that match, but the ineffectiveness of the final finish actually made it difficult for them to break into the PSG goal, I think after yesterday final match was over, they should must improved the final finishing in the next matchs.
