Ligue des champions : Ibrahim Mbaye et le PSG dos au mur face à Newcastle
The Champions League group stage concludes this Wednesday with the 8th and final matchday, featuring several high-stakes fixtures in the race for the top eight. Reigning European champions Paris Saint-Germain face Newcastle at the Parc des Princes in a crucial clash between two teams perfectly level on points.
Sixth in the table with 13 points, Ibrahim Mbaye's Paris Saint-Germain host England, seventh with the same number of points, in a crucial match. Playing in front of their home crowd, Luiz Enrique's men can no longer afford any mistakes if they want to secure direct qualification for the quarterfinals and avoid the pitfalls of the playoffs. A slip-up could prove very costly in such a tight standings.
Another team under pressure is Inter Milan. The Italian club, runners-up in the previous edition and currently 14th with 12 points, must pull off a miracle in Germany against Borussia Dortmund (16th, 11 points). A victory is essential to secure a top-eight finish and continue their European campaign without further disruption.
Just shy of direct qualification, FC Barcelona (9th, 13 points) host FC Copenhagen (26th, 8 points) and must win to avoid the playoffs. Chelsea (8th, 13 points) face a similar situation as they travel to Napoli (25th, 8 points) for a high-stakes match where only a victory will secure their place.
In Monaco, Lamine Camara and his teammates are looking to solidify their playoff position. The Monegasques host Juventus (15th, 12 points), who are still in contention for a top-eight finish. This unpredictable match could reshuffle the deck in the middle of the table.
Further down the table, Galatasaray, with Ismail Jakobs in the lineup, travel to Manchester City (11th, 13 points) aiming to secure their playoff spot against the club of Egyptian striker Marmoush, who are also under pressure. Union Saint-Gilloise (31st, 6 points), with Ousseynou Niang still clinging to a slim hope of qualification, host Atalanta Bergamo (13th, 13 points) in a crucial match to keep their hopes alive.
Already eliminated, Pape Gueye's Villarreal travel to Bayer Leverkusen (20th, 9 points), who are aiming for a victory to consolidate their place among the teams called upon to play in the playoffs.
This final matchday promises to be explosive, with European qualification hanging in the balance for the next 90 minutes. For PSG and Ibrahim Mbaye, the defending champions, the equation is simple: win to secure a place in the top eight.
