DOHA:

PSG's troubles in front of goal this season have often cost them in the Champions League, and they were thwarted throughout this game by a combination of poor finishing and some fine saves by Monaco goalkeeper Philipp Koehn.

However, it was ultimately a deserved victory for Luis Enrique's team in Qatar, as PSG won the trophy -- the French equivalent of a Super Cup or England's Community Shield -- for the 11th time in the last 12 seasons.

"It was a great game between two teams who play good football," said Luis Enrique.

"The result is well deserved and reflects our domination against one of the best teams in France and in Europe."

This fixture was supposed to be staged in Beijing on August 8 as the curtain-raiser to the French campaign.
