PSG seek first win against Monaco as Enrique urges renewed energy | OneFootball

After record sales in the transfer window, PSG still await their first league win and look to kickstart the campaign against Monaco on Friday at 21:05. According to Le Progres, Monaco have begun brightly, adding pressure on the champions of Europe.

Unusually for recent years, Paris have laboured in Ligue 1, affected by an elongated 2025/26 season, a disrupted pre-season and an energetic market. Anything short of victory would invite doubt six days before their Champions League group opener against Slovan Bratislava.

PSG’s last win came on 12 August, a 2-1 Super Cup success over Aston Villa. Since then they have lost 1-0 to Lens in the Trophée des Champions and drawn 2-2 with Rennes and Lille in Ligue 1, rescuing late points after trailing by two goals on both occasions.

Luis Enrique accepts fluency may take time as new signings Ferran Torres, Lucas Digne, Mika Godts and Maghnes Akliouche bed in, while senior players work back to post‑World Cup levels. He praised the summer business, said he is happy with the squad size, and stressed the need to restore energy, mentality and ambition.

He added that his job is to select the best eleven each match and that the timing of their peak does not trouble him, even if improvement is required. The numbers support Paris, top for possession at 71.1%, second for shots at 18.5 per match and second for pass accuracy at 90.7%, just behind Marseille.

Monaco, also progressing in the Conference League after coming through the play-offs, offer a timely gauge as Paris tune up for Europe.
