On Tuesday at the Stade Louis II, Paris Saint-Germain defeated AS Monaco 3-2 in the first leg of their 2025-2026 Champions League playoff (the second leg is on Wednesday, February 25). Following the match, UEFA named the Man of the Match.

A victory that seems well-deserved for Désiré Doué (20-year-old midfielder/forward), who made a significant impact off the bench. With his precise choices and precise actions, he clearly contributed to the comeback from 2-0 to 2-3, scoring twice and providing the assist for Achraf Hakimi’s goal (the 27-year-old right-back). Other players showed promise and could have been contenders, but the Parisian number 14 was particularly incisive.
