Press review: PSG to face Monaco in Champions League play-off | OneFootball

This Saturday, January 31, the French press (from a sports perspective) focused on Paris Saint-Germain regarding the draw for the 2025-2026 Champions League play-off, with AS Monaco as their opponent (February 17 and 25).

Just like last year, PSG faces a Ligue 1 club in the play-off. It’s a shame, as it gives the match a somewhat strange feeling. Also, it means that a French club will be eliminated. Although, one could also point out that at least we’re sure to have a French team qualify.

Monaco is also an opponent that can be troublesome, especially at the Stade Louis II, where Paris lost 1-0 in Ligue 1 after a dull match. The Monegasques will give it their all, and Paris cannot afford to slip up. Two great performances will be needed to reach the round of 16, against Chelsea or FC Barcelona.
