Monaco earned a 1-0 victory against defending champions Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1 on November 29, 2025, ending a three-match losing streak.

Monaco hosted Paris Saint-Germain in a Ligue 1 match on Saturday, November 29, 2025, at Stade Louis II. The home side dominated early, with Mohammed Salisu's volley saved by PSG goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier. PSG gained control later, but Vitinha's low drive was stopped by Monaco's Lucas Hradecky.
Monaco threatened on counters, as Takumi Minamino was denied by Chevalier, and Salisu had a goal ruled out for offside. After the restart, Vanderson shot on target, but Monaco struck first in the 68th minute. Aleksandr Golovin crossed from the left, and Minamino controlled it before slotting past Chevalier for his second goal in as many games.
The game shifted in the 80th minute when Monaco's Thilo Kehrer received a straight red card for denying a goal-scoring opportunity by fouling Ibrahim Mbaye, confirmed by VAR. Despite the numerical advantage, PSG could not equalize in the final 10 minutes, including seven minutes of stoppage time.
PSG coach Luis Enrique commented post-match: “We were not precise enough and we made too many individual and collective mistakes. Neither team played at a very high level, but they played better than us. It was without any doubt our worst match of the season.”
This marked PSG's second Ligue 1 defeat this season, after a loss to Marseille in September. They sit top with 30 points from 14 games but lead Marseille and Lens by just two points. Monaco, now seven points behind PSG, moved into the European places, one point from the top four. Paul Pogba made a brief substitute appearance for Monaco, while PSG missed Achraf Hakimi, Nuno Mendes, and Desire Doue; Ousmane Dembele played over half an hour as a sub. Flashscore named Takumi Minamino Man of the Match.
