Fresh off a historic treble-winning campaign, Paris Saint-Germain are on the verge of a monumental milestone.

Explaining the New Champions League League Phase Structure
The 2025/26 season continues the updated format introduced to replace the traditional four-team group stages. In this “Swiss-style” league phase, every participant plays eight matches—four at home and four away—against eight different opponents.
The match-ups are determined by seeding pots, ensuring teams face a balanced variety of high and low-ranked opposition. All results are aggregated into a single league table. The top eight teams progress directly to the Round of 16, while those finishing 9th through 24th enter a two-legged play-off round. Teams finishing 25th or lower are eliminated from European competition entirely for the remainder of the season.

Since its opening in 2019, the stadium has become a premier venue for international football, serving as the home of the Hungarian national team. It previously hosted the 2023 Europa League final, where Sevilla triumphed over Roma in a dramatic penalty shootout.
