Barcelona, Liverpool’s Champions League Fate Nearly Set as PSG Nears Round of 16

Paris Saint-Germain cruised to a 3-0 victory over Stade Brestois in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League knockout play-off last Tuesday at Stade de Roudourou, with Ousmane Dembélé netting a brace.

Unless Brest pulls off a remarkable comeback, PSG will face either Barcelona or Liverpool in the Round of 16. This dominant win further highlights the impressive form of Luis Enrique’s squad.

In their last four matches, PSG has outscored opponents 14-3, securing wins over RB Salzburg, Manchester City, VfB Stuttgart, and now Brest. The Parisians will need to finish off Brest in the second leg before focusing on their potential clash with Barcelona or Liverpool.
