PSG v Monaco: Akliouche speaks candidly after Champions League exit | OneFootball

This Wednesday, as part of the second leg of the 2025-2026 Champions League playoffs, Paris Saint-Germain faced AS Monaco at the Parc des Princes. Maghnes Akliouche, a 24-year-old attacking midfielder from the Monaco team, stopped in the mixed zone after the 2-2 draw (PSG/Monaco video summary) which qualifies PSG (5-4 on aggregate).

Akliouche "We have things to correct"

A lot of disappointment?

Yes, definitely. There is frustration, of course, because we had the ability today to snatch the qualification. We have a sense of pride over the two matches, we are happy with what we did. We have things to correct, including the red cards.

Akliouche "We need to learn from this kind of match."

A lack of intensity sometimes?

Intensity, I don't think so. I think that, of course, the red card in the first leg and the second leg did a lot of harm. It's almost 90 minutes with 10 men. Naturally, we fall back. But we responded well in many areas.

We can be proud, of course, even though we are competitors and there is frustration. We need to learn from this kind of match. We showed that we are capable of great matches against great teams.
