Paris Saint-Germain secured their place in the 2025-2026 Champions League Round of 16 on Wednesday at the Parc des Princes. Despite conceding a 2-2 draw against AS Monaco, the Parisians advanced thanks to their 3-2 victory in the first leg in the Principality.
As in the opening clash, Paris capitalized on a numerical advantage after Mamadou Coulibaly was sent off just before the hour mark, a decisive turning point in this two-legged battle.
A High-Stakes Showdown in the Round of 16
Now, attention turns to the knockout stage. And the challenge promises to be daunting. The draw scheduled for Friday at noon will determine the opponent: either Chelsea or FC Barcelona. Two explosive matchups lie ahead.
Against the Blues, it would be a rematch of the Club World Cup final won by the London side this summer (3-0). Against Barça, there would be a sense of revenge in the air, even though Paris claimed a 2-1 victory in Catalonia on October 1 during the league phase.
In any case, PSG already know there will be no respite. On March 10 or 11 at the Parc des Princes, then a week later away from home, they will need to be ready.
