On Tuesday, in the first leg of the 2025-2026 Champions League playoffs (second leg on February 25), Paris Saint-Germain faced AS Monaco at the Stade Louis II. Jordan Teze, the 26-year-old defender for the Monegasque team, spoke to CBS Sports after PSG’s 3-2 victory.
Teze: “It’s possible in the second leg.”
Did the match slip away from you when it was in your hands?
Yes, that’s true. We started very, very well. If you can be 2-0 up against Paris in 20 minutes, that’s ideal. But you can’t concede two goals like that; you can do better. But losing 3-2 while playing with 10 men isn’t so bad. Even if it’s not what we wanted. We managed to score two goals early on, so it’s possible in the second leg.
Teze: “Otherwise, there would be no point in going.”
How did the game change? Did Doué change everything?
His first shot went in, of course they have great players on the bench. Dembélé is injured, Doué comes on. It’s crazy. He came on really well, he scored two goals. It’s up to us to do it again.
Hope for the return leg?
Of course, otherwise there would be no point in going.
