In an extremely tight group, Paris Saint-Germain could find themselves in a very precarious position in the event of a misstep this Tuesday against Newcastle.
We had announced a death squad for Paris Saint-Germain. If this term is sometimes overused, it is clear that everything remains possible in this group, where the four teams are within three points after four days.
This Tuesday evening, PSG could first, second, third or even fourth in their group depending on the results. Let’s start with the best news: the capital club can ensure their qualification for the round of 16 if they succeed against Newcastle. For this, Milan must also not win against Dortmund. If the Rossoneri win, PSG would be first in their group but not yet qualified before going to Dortmund in two weeks. The best scenario for Paris? A victory against Newcastle and a draw between Milan and Dortmund. PSG would thus qualify, and could be satisfied with a draw in Germany to secure first place.
In the event of a defeat against Newcastle, on the other hand, PSG would find themselves third or fourth, and would be obliged to win against Dortmund on the last day. But even that might not be enough. The disaster scenario would be as follows for the Parisians: a defeat against Newcastle, and a victory for Dortmund in Milan. In this case, Borussia would be out of reach, and PSG would have to rely on a Magpies misstep against Milan to have a chance of passing.
