If PSG remains master of its destiny before challenging Borussia Dortmund on home soil, only a victory would guarantee it access to the knockout stages of the Champions League.
PSG escaped the worst, two weeks ago, by snatching an equalizer at the last minute against Newcastle (1-1). Because thanks to this sharing of points against the Magpies, the French champions approach this last day of the group stage of the Champions League with the immense privilege of being masters of their destiny. A victory in the Ruhr will in fact guarantee the capital club to validate its ticket for the round of 16, as it has become accustomed to since the arrival of QSI.
Better still, a new success against Borussia after that acquired during the first day (2-0) will undoubtedly allow the Rouge et Bleu to finish at the top of their group and therefore avoid most of the European leaders in the round of 16 . This shows the importance that success in Germany would have.
However, other scenarios would allow PSG to qualify for the rest of the Champions League. In the event of a draw, it would indeed be enough for Newcastle not to win against Milan. And if Luis Enrique’s men were to lose again, a draw between the Magpies and the Rossoneri would allow them to continue the adventure in C1.
To sum up :
– PSG will be first in the group if:
▫️ PSG wins in Dortmund
– PSG will be second in the group if:
▫️ PSG draws at Dortmund and Newcastle loses or draws against AC Milan
▫️ PSG loses to Dortmund and Newcastle and Milan draw
– PSG will be in the Europa League if:
▫️ PSG draws at Dortmund and Newcastle wins against AC Milan
▫️ PSG loses to Dortmund and Newcastle where AC Milan wins
