A Nail-Biting Encounter in Doha
The clash between last season’s Ligue 1 champions, PSG, and French Cup winners, Monaco, was a tightly contested affair. Both teams displayed resilience and tactical discipline, but it was Dembele’s late intervention that broke the deadlock. The French winger, who joined PSG in 2023, showcased his composure and precision by slotting home the winning goal in stoppage time, sending the Parisian fans into raptures.

With this victory, PSG further cemented their status as the most successful club in the history of the French Super Cup. Their 12th title adds to an already impressive trophy cabinet, highlighting their dominance in French football. The win also marks a positive start to the new campaign under manager Luis Enrique, who will be hoping to build on this success in the coming months.

As PSG looks to dominate both domestically and in Europe, Dembele’s form will be crucial to their ambitions.
Looking Ahead
