Here are the key facts and figures from the Parisians' 4-1 victory over AS Monaco on Friday 7 February 2025, on Matchday 21 of Ligue 1.
BACK TO THE FUTURE
The evening got off to the best possible start. The future is written in Paris, as the capital club announced several contract extensions at the Parc des Princes before the match. Achraf Hakimi, Vitinha, Nuno Mendes and Yoram Zague have all extended their Parisian contracts, Ibrahim Mbaye and Naoufel El Hannach have turned professional, and the Admiral of the Rouge et Bleu ship, Luis Enrique, has also extended his contract.
An unforgettable moment that reflects the long-term vision of the Parisian project. On the pitch, that vision is being translated into XXL performances, like the one against ASM.
third time's the charm
Third match of the season against Monaco, and third victory for Paris. After winning the first game on the Rock (4-2) and then the Trophée des Champions in Doha (1-0) at the start of January, the Parisians followed that up with a home victory against the most played against opponent in the history of the Rouge et Bleu (115 matches).
More generally, PSG have not lost any of their first 21 Ligue 1 matches in 2024/25 (16 wins, 5 draws), for the third time in their history (after 1985-86 and 2015-16). Luis Enrique has suffered just two defeats in his first 55 Ligue 1 games on the Parisian bench (38 wins, 15 draws), the lowest total to date for a coach of the capital club.
In terms of goals scored, we're not doing badly either. Paris have scored 4 goals or more in 5 matches in all competitions in 2025. Since their 4-2 victory over Manchester City on 22 January, the Rouge et Bleu have scored 3.3 goals per game in all competitions (20 in 6 games).
HOW DO YOU SAY ‘FIRST GOAL’ IN GEORGIAN?
We're starting to master the pronunciation of his surname. It's not easy, but we're getting there. Much like Kvara himself, who seems to be finding his feet within the Parisian team. Before he gets a chance to test himself on the European stage in his new colours, the Georgian international is getting to grips with Ligue 1, and he opened his account against ASM on Friday with a breathtaking goal.
The first of many we hope, and before your very eyes, the answer to the question posed above: p'irveli goli. Thank us later.
DEMBÉLÉ'S RUN CONTINUES
So Ousmane scored two consecutive hat-tricks, and still finds a way to score again and again. With a brace against Monaco, the Parisian No10 came within a whisker of pulling off a Threepeat (NBA fans will get it).
Dembélé is simply irresistible at the moment, in the form of his life. He has now scored 13 goals in all competitions for Paris in 2025 (in 7 matches), which is as many as he scored in the whole of 2024 (in 42 matches).
Ousmane has scored in each of his last 6 Ligue 1 matches (10 goals in total), which is the longest active streak in Europe's top 5 leagues.
