Paris Saint-Germain’s 2026 Champions League Journey: Can They Overcome Their Ultimate Challenge?
Yet the league phase also exposed vulnerabilities, similar to how things went for the Ligue 1 giants last season. Defeats to Bayern Munich and Sporting Lisbon, along with dropped points in tightly contested matches, revealed a team still learning to manage control across different contexts. PSG did not cruise through this stage; they navigated it, finishing 11th and securing progression via the play-offs rather than automatic qualification.
In hindsight, that struggle may have been formative. Rather than masking weaknesses, it forced PSG to confront them early. The result was a side that entered the knockout rounds sharper, more adaptable, and perhaps more self-aware than in previous campaigns, where early dominance sometimes concealed fragility.
