This Wednesday evening, Paris Saint-Germain drew 2-2 (PSG/Monaco video summary) against AS Monaco in the second leg of the 2025-2026 Champions League playoffs at Parc des Princes and qualified for the round of 16 (5-4 on aggregate). Désiré Doué, the man of the match, spoke to Canal +. He reflected on the challenges faced by Paris but praised the team's collective response.
Man of the match, Paris is qualified, but did you fear at any point that it might slip away?
Yes, of course, at the end when they scored and then had one last chance, naturally, we felt stress and it was scary. But overall, we managed to react once again because we were trailing. We knew how to come back and take the lead, we played a great collective match.
That's what you take away, the reaction. A question because we are waiting for PSG from last year.
Yes, of course, the idea is not to be trailing and then come back. Our goal is to dominate the match. However, there are game situations, and we also need to know how to come back when we're behind, and that's what we did today. In the upcoming matches, we'll try not to concede goals, it's important.
