Champions League
PSG drew Borussia Dortmund and won the Champions League play-offs
Paris Saint-Germain visited Borussia Dortmund in the final match of the Champions League group stage. Luis Enrique’s team had to overcome the obstacles to qualify for the play-offs. “Dzhmeli”, with his black, was not enough to lose, so as not to waste the first collected and potentially light foal.
The Lords set a good pace from the opening kicks and hoped to score a goal quickly. Borussia Dortmund quickly created the first dangerous moment when Marco Reus took a shot from the penalty line – the ball flew into the hole after a ricochet, but Donnarumma turned his team around. It didn’t take long for Wolf to grab the ball from the driving position but manage to break through the goal.
Paris Saint-Germain realized it had to change and created a series of controversial moments. Mbappé immediately beat Kobel and shot into an empty goal, but Süle knocked the ball off the line. Then Bradley Barkola fired a shot from between the penalty area into the far corner, but the stands turned away the Hospodars. Do you think that’s all? No. After a decade of hwilin, Kolo Muani escaped with the Male and carefully sewed the ball, with a bit of luck it was demolished.
The teams continued to have success on the international circuit and Borussia Dortmund started to cause problems. At one point, Donnarumma kicked the ball in front of her after Ozcan’s shot, and Adejemi managed to shoot back from a few meters away. At this point the Parisians completed the episode when Kolo Mouany started a match with the Male at Kut but could not beat the goalkeeper in a close battle.
The teams settled for a 0-0 draw and at the start of the second half, Dortmund showed PSG mercy as Fullkrug struck the ball onto Adejemi’s foot, who he fired straight into the corner. 1:0. However, the French did not hesitate for long and immediately turned to the team – Zaïr-Emeri, grabbed the ball from someone else’s free kick and shot it straight into the corner. 1:1.
Paris Saint-Germain realized it was still lurking before the match. He even wants to determine his share himself. Luis Enrique’s side came even close to this point when Hakimi made a brilliant pass from Vivi Mbappe to Kobel, who then fired past the goalkeeper. Meanwhile, the target was cut in the ‘growing pose’ position.
PSG continued to move forward but faltered at the last minute. Are you sleeping why? The French learned that in a parallel match, Milan took the lead in a match against Newcastle, and after that nothing sent PSG from another place to the next stage. The guests did not want to jeopardize their place in the play-offs because of the first meeting in the group and brought the match to its logical conclusion.

We continue to examine the future of Donetsk shakhtar To buy tickets directly to the main stage Champions League 2026/27.
This will be possible if the place reserved for the team that wins the Champions League trophy is redistributed.
All important moments of the match are available in LIVE mode Telegram Sport.ua
Donetsk Miner They are in fourth place with a coefficient of 50.250 among the clubs competing for a possible position at the heart of the Champions League.
In the last European week, the Donetsk club added +2.625 points. This increase was achieved with a 0-0 draw with Croatian Rijeka in the 6th round of the Conference League and a sixth place in the main round final table.
Main rival Greek Olympiacos – 56,500 points remaining. The Miners can regain the 6,250-point lead if they perform well in the spring part of the European Cups.
It is interesting that Shakhtar lost the first place in the UPL (Cherkasy has the same number of points as LNZ – 35 points each), and Olympiacos lost the lead in Greece to the AEK team (36 points against 37). Ukrainian striker Roman Yaremchuk plays for the team of the city of Piraeus.
Positions rangers (59,250), 4th in Scotland and Copenhagen (53.375), placed 5th in Denmark, looks less competitive in the rankings due to its position in the national championships. Leader only in championships Dinamo Zagreb And RB Salzburg (44,000 each) but there is no certainty that the turn will come.
Let us remind you that if the cup holder buys a ticket to the Champions League through the national championship, there will be a vacancy in the main squad in the 2026/27 Champions League. In this case, a balance will arise again and if Shakhtar wins the UPL and is ahead of Olympiacos in the UEFA club rankings (or the Greek club does not become the champion of Greece), it can get a direct ticket to the base of the Champions League.
If the Piraeus team is higher in the rankings and takes advantage of the available space, the Donetsk club will start from the 4th quarter of the Champions League, not the 2nd quarter, in case they win in the UPL.

Pedri commented on the new format of the Champions League: An unexpected look from a football player
Barcelona midfielder pedri He answered the question about his attitude towards the new format of the Champions League with the general group stage.
“Do I like the new format of the Champions League? I can’t say with 100% certainty which format I like more: this one or the previous one?”
If I have to choose, I will do something new: There were more matches between strong teams in the first stage,” said Pedri, as quoted by Esquire.
Before the 2024/2025 season, the group stage of the Champions League consisted of eight groups of four clubs each. All participants played six matches in their respective foursomes, home and away, against each of the three opponents.
From the 2024/2025 season, a new Champions League format comes into force with a common group stage of 36 clubs; each participant plays eight matches, four away and four at home; The opponents are determined by lot.”

Earlier, English Manchester City played a match against French Monaco in a new round of the UEFA Champions League.
After the match, the head coach of the “Locals” Pep Guardiola commented on the performance of the powerful team.
“In football you can always perform better – and this is the result. Our game today was very good in many ways. And step by step we will improve our results.”
Ale mi gave many speeches today in the right way. We created many scoring opportunities and found Phil Foden active in the first half. Most Gravians played at a fairly high level.
Previously, they did not let their opponents create anything, but created the chances themselves. We adapted very well to the superniks and played very well. This is my opinion.
If you get a good match on the right side, of course you have to… Today we got a great ball, that’s all I can tell you right away.
Holland? It’s really good. He plays to score goals. He struggled with three centre-backs and two supporting defenders in front of him, and it wasn’t easy for his partners to know that. Ale, we can work hard to score goals.
Tse bula spravdi garna gra. We created a lot of chances, but unfortunately in the end we didn’t defend perfectly against a free kick, which would have been quite a few, and we conceded a penalty, which was awarded when the ball hit the first one… well, that’s it.
Referee? “I have nothing to say to the Spanish referees,” said the Spanish footballer.
In the coming round, English Manchester City will visit Spanish Villarreal.
