🏟 Parc des Princes (Paris)

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) continues to excel in Ligue 1, demonstrating their attacking prowess with 16 goals in their first four matches this season. However, their UEFA Champions League (UCL) campaign has been less fruitful, with their only final appearance in 2019/20 ending in defeat to Bayern Munich, and a semi-final exit last season to Borussia Dortmund. PSG is eager to avoid an unwanted record of three consecutive UCL matches without scoring, a feat they’ve yet to achieve. They have a strong home record against Spanish teams, although they did suffer a 3-2 loss to Barcelona in their last such encounter.

Girona’s remarkable third-place finish in La Liga last season earned them a spot in the UCL for the first time. However, their start to the 2024/25 season has been shaky, with two wins, one draw, and two losses. A recent 4-1 defeat to Barcelona highlighted their defensive vulnerabilities, but their record of one loss in their last six away games suggests they can still perform well on the road. With key departures like Artem Dovbyk and Aleix García, Girona faces a tough challenge.
