PSG finally broke their four-match winless streak in the Champions League with a commanding 3-0 victory over Salzburg in the last round. After three losses and a draw, the Parisians delivered their second win of the tournament. Notably, this match ended a dismal run of conceding in 21 consecutive away Champions League games. It also marked PSG’s first significant away triumph in the group stage since October 2019.
Despite this crucial win, PSG still finds itself outside the playoff zone, sitting in 25th place, just one point shy of the 24th spot. Their overall form in the Champions League has been inconsistent, with six of their last eight matches ending without a win, including five defeats and a draw. Domestically, however, PSG continues to dominate Ligue 1, securing a 2-1 win over Lens over the weekend and maintaining a nine-point lead over second-placed Marseille.
Manchester City, on the other hand, is struggling to find their rhythm in the group stage. They are winless in their last three Champions League outings, starting with a 3-3 home draw against Feyenoord and followed by two disappointing losses: 1-4 to Sporting CP and 0-2 to Juventus. This poor run has dropped them to 22nd place in the standings, with just a single point separating them from PSG.
The defeat to Juventus not only jeopardized their position in the group but also ended a 10-match streak of scoring in away Champions League fixtures. Across eight games in this group stage, City has managed only two wins, alongside four draws and two losses, raising concerns about their chances in the tournament. However, the team heads into this clash on the back of a confidence-boosting 6-0 away victory over Ipswich, although they remain fifth in the Premier League standings.
