We followed AS Monaco all the way to Doha, the Qatari capital, for an intense Troph\u00e9e des Champions trip. On the programme: training sessions and cultural discoveries before a thrilling clash with Paris Saint-Germain on the final day. Although the Red and Whites returned home disappointed after a frustrating 1-0 defeat in extra time, there were positive takeaways from the trip.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Thursday 2 January<\/b> – the AS Monaco players set foot on Qatari soil just before 10 pm local time, after a 5.5-hour flight aboard a rare aircraft, the A340-313 operated by the charter company USC, which had flown to Nice for the very first time. With a time difference of just two hours, it was the start of a new adventure for Adi H\u00fctter’s men, as they prepared for a major challenge.<\/p>\n\n
