Champions League
The cursed two days of Paris in the Champions League
The March and in particular the two-day 8-9 proved cursed for Paris Saint-Germain, eliminated by Real on March 9, 2022 in the 16 of the Champions League, while on March 8, 2017 it was left out after the heavy 6: 1 against Barcelona.
One of Paris Saint-Germain’s biggest goals this season came on Wednesday evening (9.3.). Responsible for this was none other than Karim Benzema, who knocked the Parisians out of the Champions League with a hat-trick.
History has shown that March is a cursed month for Mauricio Pochettino’s team, especially days 8-9.
The Paris club were eliminated again in the round of 16 when Barcelona beat them 6-1 on March 8, 2017. Paris had won 4-0 in the first round at the Parc des Princes, but at the Camp Nou it was the Blaugrana, with Sergio Roberto’s golden goal at 90+5′, who secured a ticket to the quarter-finals of the tournament .
