PSG vs Monaco Live

A draw against Monaco in the second leg of the play-off on the morning of February 26th would be enough for Paris Saint-Germain to secure a place in the Champions League round of 16 for the 14th consecutive season.

PSG entered the match at Parc des Princes with the advantage. In the first leg at Monaco, they were trailing and endured a difficult first 20 minutes. However, their resilience helped Luis Enrique's team successfully come back. This was the first time in the 21st century that PSG won a Champions League knockout match after being two goals down.

The Parisian club is in excellent form. PSG have won four consecutive knockout matches in the Champions League. They have also won their last two home games. At Parc des Princes, PSG are unbeaten in 8 of their last 9 matches in all competitions. Their two most recent victories were 8-0 in total. Against Monaco, PSG have not lost in their last five home encounters. In knockout matches against this opponent in the 21st century, they have never been defeated.

Conversely, Monaco enters the second leg needing to win. Their recent Champions League form has been poor, having been eliminated in their last three knockout rounds. The last time they progressed beyond the round of 16 was in the 2016/17 season, when Kylian Mbappe was still a teenager and played a major role in leading Monaco to the semi-finals.

Monaco once pulled off a memorable comeback. In the 2016/17 Round of 16, they lost 3-5 to Manchester City in the first leg but won 3-1 in the second leg to advance thanks to the away goals rule. However, Monaco's current away form is not in their favor. Only one of their last five away games ended in a victory. In this season's Champions League, Monaco have conceded 12 goals in four away matches.

PSG have the advantage of form and home ground. Monaco have the confidence of fond memories from the past. Parc des Princes promises to be a tense match, where even a small mistake could decide who advances.
