Scenarios for knockout phase qualification with two round of 16 spots now rubber stamped and many playoffs-bound

In the highlight fixture of the day in the Champions League between two teams desperate for a victory, PSG defeated Manchester City 4–2 at the Parc des Princes. Both teams looked cautious in the first half. Chances were few and far between, with an emphasis in defending well and maintaining a well structured shape taking center stage.

Remarkably, after multiple collapses and only two victories in seven tries, City remains alive. A win at home against Club Brugge on the final matchday, next Wednesday, would be enough to secure a spot in the play-in round.
