Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has secured a spot in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals following a dramatic victory over Liverpool. Despite trailing 1-0 from the first leg, PSG bounced back in the second leg, with Ousmane Dembélé leveling the aggregate score early in the match. The game ultimately went into extra time and was decided by a penalty shootout, where goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma made crucial saves to guide PSG to victory.
With Liverpool eliminated, PSG’s chances of lifting the Champions League trophy have significantly improved. According to Opta’s supercomputer, PSG now has a 19.3% probability of winning the tournament, trailing closely behind FC Barcelona, which leads with a 20.4% chance. Arsenal and Inter Milan also remain strong contenders for the title.
Meanwhile, PSG is making headlines in the transfer market, with reports linking the club to Newcastle United’s star forward, Alexander Isak. The Swedish international, valued at £150 million, has attracted interest from multiple top European clubs, including FC Barcelona. PSG’s management is reportedly monitoring his situation ahead of the summer transfer window.
In an unusual off-the-field story, former PSG player Laurent Leroy has embarked on a surprising career shift. The former Champions League forward, who once faced Bayern Munich with PSG, has transitioned into working at a butcher’s shop in France after retiring from professional football in 2012.
Looking ahead, PSG is preparing for a crucial period in both domestic and international competitions. With their Champions League hopes still alive and the possibility of new reinforcements in the summer, the club remains focused on achieving success on multiple fronts.
