PSG faces Manchester City in a crucial Champions League match, needing a win to qualify for knockout stages.

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is at a critical juncture in the UEFA Champions League, facing Manchester City in a must-win match at the Parc des Princes on January 22, 2025. With PSG currently sitting in 25th place in the league phase, they have accumulated only seven points from six matches, recording two wins, one draw, and three losses. Manchester City, on the other hand, is slightly better positioned in 22nd place with eight points from their six games, featuring two wins, two draws, and two losses.

The stakes are high for PSG, who need a victory to enhance their chances of qualifying for the knockout stage. The absence of key players, particularly Kylian Mbappé, who has transferred to Real Madrid, has severely impacted the team`s performance. The young squad is under immense pressure to deliver results in this pivotal match, as they aim to avoid an early exit from the prestigious tournament.

In terms of player contributions, Achraf Hakimi leads PSG`s scoring efforts in the Champions League with one goal and two assists, while Gonçalo Ramos and Désiré Doué have each netted one goal. Conversely, Manchester City`s Erling Haaland has been in fine form, scoring five goals, supported by Phil Foden with three goals and one assist, and Ilkay Gündogan with two goals.

This match is not just a battle for points; it is a defining moment for both clubs as they strive to secure a place among the top eight teams to qualify directly for the Round of 8 or to enter a two-legged playoff round. The match is being broadcast live on TNT Sports and discovery+, adding to the excitement surrounding this crucial encounter.
