Match report
The goal ensured the Ligue 1 champions lifted the Super Cup trophy for the third consecutive season.
Monaco took on PSG in the match and finished second in the league after their opponents won a double league and cup title during the 2023-2024 season.
The match itself was held at Stadium 974 in Doha and both sides had their chances in Qatar, although PSG looked all the more threatening without being able to break the deadlock.
But Dembele's late intervention ensured the match did not go to penalties as he secured victory with a finish inside the far post after Fabian Ruiz had delivered a neat pass across goal.
Desire Doue almost broke through in the ninth minute, hitting the crossbar, while Lee Kang-In was foiled by a Philipp Kohn save after conceding a shot from distance at the end of the first half.
Monaco's Maghnes Akliouche and Takumi Minamino also forced the returning Gianluigi Donnarumma into action, but failed to make the decisive breakthrough.
Next up for Ligue 1 leaders PSG is a home game against St Etienne on Sunday, while Monaco travel to Nantes on Friday.
Data review: Paris Saint-Germain maintains dominance
