Paris Saint-Germain secured their ticket to the 2025–2026 Champions League round of 16 this 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 encounter, Paris benefited from a numerical advantage following the sending-off of Mamadou Coulibaly shortly before the hour mark — a decisive turning point in this two-legged tie.
A Blockbuster Clash Awaits in the Round of 16
Now, attention turns to the knockout stage. And the challenge promises to be formidable. 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). Facing Barça would bring a sense of revenge, 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, and a week later away from home, they will need to be fully prepared.
