Paris Saint-Germain secured a commanding 4-1 victory over AS Monaco on February 7, 2025, at the Parc des Princes, reinforcing their position at the top of the Ligue 1 table.
The match started explosively, with PSG's Vitinha opening the scoring with a stunning free-kick just six minutes in. His precise shot curled around the wall and found the back of the net, sending the home crowd wild with excitement.
Monaco, undeterred by the early setback, responded quickly. Just eleven minutes later, Denis Zakaria equalized for the visitors, scoring from close range after combining effectively with his teammates. This goal brought tension back to the match as Monaco showed they were not there to back down easily.
Despite the equalizer, PSG controlled the game, dominating possession with 77% and creating several chances. The home side's persistence paid off early in the second half when Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scored his first goal for PSG, restoring their lead just nine minutes after the break. He deftly maneuvered through the Monaco defense before slotting the ball home.
Shortly after, Ousmane Dembélé joined the scoring spree, netting his first of the night in the 57th minute. Dembélé's clinical finish came after receiving a well-timed pass from Désiré Doué, showcasing the attacking prowess of PSG's lineup.
The match was far from over. Dembélé capped off the scoring with his second goal of the night during the dying moments of the match, sealing the final score at 4-1. Nuno Mendes was again the provider, delivering the assist after making a powerful run down the left flank.
This victory not only bolstered PSG's dominant position at the top of the league but also demonstrated Dembélé's extraordinary form—he now has 16 league goals, making him the top scorer across Ligue 1.
Following this win, PSG now leads Olympique de Marseille by 13 points, effectively tightening their grip on the Ligue 1 title as they prepare for upcoming fixtures including the Champions League. Coach Luis Enrique's side is not just winning, but they are doing so with flair, showing their capability to dismantle opponents both at home and abroad.
Meanwhile, AS Monaco, who were often outclassed, will need to regroup and reassess as they look to maintain their spot among the Champions League qualification places. With their next matches, there is pressure on them to bounce back quickly.
All eyes will be on PSG as they continue their pursuit of glory on multiple fronts, but tonight, they celebrated another emphatic league victory, confirming they are the team to beat this season.
