Unfortunately, two French clubs jumped ship in the Champions League play-offs, but there are still two survivors: Lille and Paris-Saint-Germain. On Friday February 21, the Parisian club, which could have been drawn against Barcelona or Liverpool, drew the English club, a formidable opponent since it finished first in the league phase of this new version of the competition! See you on March 5 at the Parc des Princes and on March 11, 2025 at Anfield to find out who will emerge victorious from this summit duel.
As is often the case, Paris-Saint-Germain don't have the best draw, but this time it's due to their position in the standings. In any case, they face the most complicated of opponents, the Premier League leaders, with the added bonus of a return match at the home of the "You'll Never Walk Alone", which never makes things easy given the fervour of the English fans. However, since their match against Manchester City, PSG have been impressive and collective on the pitch, which could well work in their favor.
The fact remains that Liverpool have already won six Champions Leagues, the last one being in 2019, and the Parisians are still at zero despite their progress in recent years. Should they win, PSG will meet Club Brugge or Aston Villa in the quarter-finals. Watch the matches from 9pm onwards on Canal+ or in bars across the capital!
