Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have secured their place in the Champions League next season as they triumphed over Monaco in the Ligue 1 round 34 match on Saturday night. The French giants had been in need of a win after losing their previous two matches and were determined to secure a vital three points against their bitter rivals.
The game was played at Parc des Princes and saw PSG dominate from start to finish. They took the lead through Edinson Cavani's header in the 27th minute and never looked back. The Argentine forward has been in sensational form this season and he continues to be a key player for PSG.
Monaco, on the other hand, struggled to create any real threat throughout the match. Their defensive frailties were exposed by PSG's attacking prowess and they were unable to prevent Cavani and co. from scoring more goals.
Despite the loss, Monaco still remain in second place in the table and will be hoping to bounce back in their next match. However, PSG's victory means that they now sit just one point behind leaders Nice and are just five games away from securing their spot in the Champions League next season.
It is clear that PSG's focus remains firmly set on the Champions League and they will continue to work hard to maintain their position in the top four. With such a strong squad and a manager like Thomas Tuchel, there is no doubt that PSG will be a force to be reckoned with in the coming seasons.
