PSG v Monaco: Zakaria reveals the secret to winning in Paris | OneFootball

This Friday, as part of the 25th matchday of Ligue 1 2025-2026, Paris Saint-Germain faced AS Monaco at the Parc des Princes. Denis Zakaria, the 29-year-old Monegasque midfielder, stopped by the Ligue1+ microphone after Monaco’s 1-3 victory (video highlights PSG/Monaco).

Zakaria: “We got a bit of our revenge”

Beating PSG both home and away, is that crazy?

It’s pretty crazy. But we knew we were capable of doing it. We missed out in the Champions League, but we got a bit of our revenge and we’re very happy.

Happy playing in defense?

Honestly, I’m getting older (laughs). I’m adapting, the team needed it and I’m doing the job. If it works, we’ll keep going like this!

What was the turning point that made you believe?

It was important to finish a match with eleven men, we knew we’d have the chance to create danger. We played a great match and everyone is happy.

Zakaria: “That’s how you can beat PSG”

What’s the secret?

No, we’re not going to say that. Anyone can beat anyone. Tonight, we were having a great night. That’s how you can beat PSG.

Three points away from 4th place? Has Pocognoli made his mark?

We had a very complicated start to the season, we weren’t at our level. We’re coming back well. We’re happy with the result and the performance. This is the kind of performance we need to build on.
