PSG vs AS Monaco: the return that will decide everything in the Champions League
Paris Saint-Germain arrives at the Parc des Princes with a minimal lead after beating AS Monaco 3-2 in the first leg. The Parisian comeback in the Principality, with goals from Achraf Hakimi and a brace from Désiré Doué, leaves the tie wide open and promises a high-stakes match this Wednesday, February 25. Romanian referee István Kovács will oversee the contest that will decide the Round of 16 spot.
Monaco, forced to pull off a miracle in Paris
Monaco enters the match needing to overturn the result or face elimination from the 2025/26 Champions League. The sending-off of Aleksandr Golovin in the first leg further complicates the visiting side’s chances, yet they managed to beat Lens 3-2 over the weekend, showing resilience and a strong reaction. According to experts, Golovin’s absence will be a key tactical challenge for Sébastien Pocognoli, the team’s coach.
PSG with the advantage, but not without risks
Although PSG goes into the second leg with the lead, it is only by one goal, keeping the tension at its peak. The team led by Luis Enrique comes off a 3-0 win over Metz in Ligue 1, confirming their offensive strength.

Key players and potential game-changers
On the Parisian side, Désiré Doué is the player to watch, having scored a brace in the first leg and also netting against Metz. His ability to decide matches makes him a lethal weapon for the French champions. For AS Monaco, Folarin Balogun and Ansu Fati are the most dangerous players, capable of turning the game with a single moment of brilliance. The clash promises intensity, and any detail could tip the balance.
