Prediction: 2-1
Monaco
All eyes will be on Stadium 974 in Doha when PSG and Monaco lock horns in the French Super Cup final. Les Parisiens are seen as favourites to win Sunday’s showdown, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. Both Warren Zaire-Emery and Bradley Barcola should be recalled to the starting XI after the duo came off the bench in the Coupe de France triumph over Lens, while all Renato Sanches, Presnel Kimpembe, Gianluigi Donnarumma, and Xavi Simons continue to miss out with injuries.
Les Rouges et Blancs, on the other hand, faced no difficulties in the Coupe de France win over lower-league side Saint-Jean, but they will have a mountain to climb in the Super Cup final. As Luis Enrique’s men have found their form of late, we do not believe that Adi Hutter’s men are capable of claiming a major scalp in Qatar. Monaco defender Wilfried Singo is back from suspension, while the likes of Denis Zakaria, Edan Diop, and Krepin Diatta remain in the treatment room.
Highlighted Player (Breel Embolo):
Born in Younde, Cameroon on February 14, 1997, Breel Embolo is a striker who plays for Bundesliga side Schalke 04. Embolo began his youth career at Nordstern back in 2008, but two years later he moved to Old Boys.
In 2010 the Switzerland international joined Basel and he continued playing for the RotBlau at senior level. After scoring 21 goals in 61 appearances for the club in the Swiss Super League, Breel Embolo signed a five-year deal with Schalke 04 in June, 2016 for a fee of €20 million.
The Schalke striker made his Bundesliga debut on August 27 in a 1-0 loss to Eintracht Frankfurt. Speaking of his international career, Breel Embolo has four caps for Switzerland U21 team and he made his senior debut on March 31, 2015 in a 1-1 draw with United States of America. Embolo is very powerful striker, he is technically strong, he has explosive pace and a composed finisher.
Highlighted Team (PSG):
Formed by the merger of Paris FC and Stade Saint-Germain in 1970, Paris Saint-Germain or as they call it PSG is the most successful club in French football with 31 domestic titles to their name. Having won six Ligue 1 title so far, a record ten Coupes de France, a record six Coupes de la Ligue, six Trophees des Champions and one Ligue 2 title, PSG are also one of only two French clubs to ever win a European title.
Les Parisiens were crowned UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup champions back in 1995-96, while their last European trophy was the 2001 UEFA Intertoto Cup. Beginning of the new millennium was particularly hard for the celebrated club who flirted with relegation in 2000s before they were bought by the Quatar Sports Investments group in 2011 when the rebirth of the Paris Saint-Germain as we know it today began.
Following heavy squad investments and team boosting, PSG won their first Ligue 1 title in 19 years with Swedish legend Zlatan Ibrahimovic almost singlehandedly leading his side towards the trophy with 30 goals. Having established domestic dominance, PSG now set their sights on winning the Champions League which remains an elusive dream for the club from Paris.
