Newcastle United, Real Madrid, PSG and more have discovered their respective Champions League playoff round opponents.

A cup exit, a flurry of injuries and 'fake news' about Enrique and Dembele have clouded 2025-26. But the team is slowly clicking into gear

Real Madrid was stunningly dumped into the knockout playoffs of the Champions League by its former coach Jose Mourinho and will be joined there by Paris Saint-Germain.

PSG welcomes Newcastle United to the Parc des Princes on Wednesday for the final league phase matchday of the UEFA Champions League.

It took time for the hybrid system, which sometimes saw Newcastle go man to man and at others saw them drop into a 5-4-1 block, to prove effective, with the visitors eventually slowing PSG’s build-up play and restricting the home side’s effectiveness.

PARIS (AP) — Old rivals Paris Saint-Germain and Marseille come back to Ligue 1 with a sour taste after completing the Champions League phase. Reigning European champion PSG was dull in attack in a 1-1 draw with Newcastle that dropped Luis Enrique's side out of the top eight and into the playoffs.

Arguably the most impactful match of the final league-phase day will see PSG and Newcastle go head-to-head for a top-eight spot in the Champions League standings on Wednesday.
