After lifting Europe’s top prize last season, Paris Saint-Germain now face a brutal challenge right from the start. Drawn into what many are calling the Champions League’s ‘group of death,’ the star-studded holders must navigate a gauntlet where any slip could spell an early exit.
A Brutal Draw
The tag ‘group of death’ isn’t handed out lightly. PSG’s opponents are packed with quality, meaning every matchday will feel like a final—drop even two points, and the path to the knockout rounds narrows drastically.
Premier League Power
For the first time ever, six Premier League sides will feature in the group stage. That unprecedented concentration of English talent raises the bar higher than ever for the French champions.
The Dark Horse
Beyond the usual giants lurks an underdog—a surprising dark horse fresh off a breakout campaign. If they catch rivals off guard, this team could rewrite the group’s script in stunning fashion.
On the Edge
PSG’s squad boasts world-class stars, but football thrives on unpredictability. As kick-off looms, the key question is whether the champions can handle relentless pressure and live up to the hype.
