Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund are the first two teams to punch their ticket for the UEFA Champions League semi-finals in the 2023-24 season. PSG eliminated Barcelona after a 4-1 away win, while Dortmund got the better of Atletico Madrid with a 4-2 win at their Signal Iduna Park.

PSG and Borussia will face each other in the next stage and look for a chance to advance to the Finals, which is being played at Wembley Stadium on June 1. PSG has never won the competition, while Borussia has one UCL trophy from 1996–97.

Paris Saint-Germain entered the second leg match against Barca chasing a one-goal deficit after the first leg finished with a 3-2 win for the La Liga side. This didn’t look well for the French club early on, as Raphina gave Barca the lead in the 12th minute, but momentum shifted their way after Barcelona’s defender Ronald Araujo received a direct card in the 29th minute for bringing down Bradley Barcola in a clear goal chance opportunity.

PSG took advantage of having an extra man as Ousmane Dembélé scored an equalizer against his former club before the halftime whistle. Vitinha made it 2-1 for the Ligue 1 giants in the 54th minute before star forward Kylian Mbappe scored twice in the 61st and 89th minute to set the final score of 4-1.

Borussia Dortmund found itself in a similar situation as PSG, having suffered a 2-1 loss to Atletico Madrid in the first match. The German club played much better this time around, grabbing a 2-0 lead in the first half thanks to goals by Julian Brandt and Ian Maatsen.

Atletico ended up responding in the early second half thanks to Mats Hummels’ own goal and a strike by forward Ángel Correa. However, they couldn’t keep the momentum going, as Borussia restored its two-goal lead in quick succession via striker Niclas Füllkrug in the 71st minute and midfielder Marcel Sabitzer in the 74th minute and secured a big win.

Ligue 1 powerhouse Paris Saint-Germain is preparing for life without their departing star forward Kylian Mbappe. According to UK media outlet Daily Mirror, PSG is looking to pursue a move for Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford.

Reportedly, PSG is ready to offer £75 million ($95 million) in hopes to entice Man Utd to let Rashford go. The Premier League side is believed to be open to discussions but will likely hold out for a bid of £100 million ($127.5 million).

It is believed that Rashford is PSG’s primary target but also not the only one. If they are able to get a deal done with Manchester United, the French club is expected to turn to Napoli’s Victor Osimhen.

While Manchester United considers Rashford to be a key player, they also need to comply with the Financial Fair Play rules. Netting a huge transfer sum for Rashford would alleviate these concerns and open up the possibility for other moves in the summer.

PSG also pursued Rashford back in 2022, when they were reportedly willing to give him wages in the range of £400,000-a-week. At the time, the England international opted to stay at Old Trafford and later signed a new deal with Red Devils.

Rashford has underperformed this season, scoring just seven goals and adding six assists in 34 matches in all competitions. For comparison, he finished 2022-23 with 30 goals in 56 matches.

Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain are the first teams to secure their spots in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals. Bayern beat Lazio while Paris Saint-Germain went through at the expense of Real Sociedad.

Bayern was in a tough position entering the second leg of their Round of 16 match against Lazio on Tuesday night. They lost the first leg 1-0, and considering they have been in poor form in recent weeks, many believed they would have a hard time against a resilient Seria A side.

Instead, Bayern delivered one of their best performances of the season. Harry Kane scored two goals while veteran Thomas Muller added one for a comfy 3-0 win at their Allianz Arena.

Paris Saint-Germain, on the other hand, did just enough to keep their advantage over Real Sociedad after getting a 2-0 win in the first game. PSG also came on top in the away rematch thanks to two goals from Kylian Mbappe, while the La Liga side managed to get a consolation goal through Miklel Merino in the final minutes of regulation. Curiously, this was PSG’s first win away from home in UCL in the 2023-24 season.

On Wednesday, Real Madrid plays RB Leipzig, while Manchester City faces FC Copenhagen for two more UCL quarter-finals spots. Four more spots will be up for grabs next week after Porto vs. Arsenal, Barcelona vs. Napoli, Borussia Dortmund vs. PSV, and Inter Milan vs. Atletico Madrid matchups wrap up.

Paris Saint-Germain is still not losing hope that they can convince their star attacker, Kylian Mbappe, to remain at the club for at least a couple of more seasons. According to reports by French media, PSG is set to make one last attempt to keep Mbappe by presenting him a new and improved contract offer.

Mbappe is currently on an expiring contract that will see him become a free agent in the summer of 2024. He previously refused to sign an extension with PSG, which many took as a sign that he wanted to leave the club.

Mbappe’s reluctance to ink a new deal has caused his relationship with the club to deteriorate, and the player was even suspended from training with the first team at one point in August. The two sides are reportedly on better terms now, and PSG is hopeful that Mbappe might reconsider his stance.

The club is prepared to offer Mbappe a salary increase while also inserting a release clause in the new contract. The clause would allow Mbappe to leave the club if he wishes to while enabling PSG to recoup some of the €180 million they paid to get him in 2017.

It remains to be seen whether Mbappe is willing to remain in France. He can start negotiating with other clubs in January, with La Liga giants Real Madrid being considered the favorites to sign him in case he decides to leave PSG.

PSG has had a slow start to the 2023-24 campaign, but that didn’t stop Mbappe from finding the net on a regular basis. The 24-year-old scored eight goals in nine matches he played in all competitions.

French star winger Ousmane Dembele has struggled to make an impact at Paris Saint-Germain since joining the club in the summer. If he fails to improve and PSG decides to move on from him, multiple Premier League clubs would reportedly love to have him.

According to a recent report by Daily Mirror, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, and West Ham are all eyeing a move for Dembele in case PSG makes him available. All three clubs are believed to be willing to bring the 26-year-old on loan as early as January.

Arsenal and Tottenham had a promising start of the season, currently sitting in the Top 5 of the Premier League standings, but would like to add more attacking-minded players to ensure they remain there. West Ham, on the other hand, is seventh and wishes to strengthen its team to make a push for positions that guarantee a place in European competitions.

Dembele joined PSG in a €50 million transfer from La Liga side Barcelona. He made six appearances in all competition for the reigning Ligue 1 champions but is yet to score a single goal. PSG’s head coach Luis Enrique is reportedly being patient but might drop Dembele from his starting lineup if he continues with underwhelming performances.

Dembele previously spent six seasons with Barcelona, scoring 40 goals and adding 43 assists in 185 appearances. He also had spells with Rennes and Borussia Dortmund early in his career.

Another summer, another Kylian Mbappe saga. After making a big effort to keep Mbappe just a year ago, Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain are now reportedly ready to listen to offers for their star striker.

Mbappe re-signed with PSG last summer on a two-year deal that had an option for a third year. The player recently sent a letter to the club, informing them that he won’t be picking up that option. This will make him a free agent following the 2023-24 season.

Mbappe himself confirmed the news via a statement published by AFP.

“The board has been informed since July 15, 2022, of my decision not to extend beyond 2024, and the letter sent was only meant to confirm what I already told them, “said Mbappe.

PSG doesn’t want to lose Mbappe for free, as they recently did with Lionel Messi, and have told the Frenchman that he can either sign a new deal or leave in this upcoming transfer window. If Mbappe chooses the second option, the French club is expected to ask for at least €150 million in transfer fees.

La Liga giants Real Madrid are expected to be at the forefront of the pursuit of Kylian Mbappe once again. Real has been pursuing Mbappe for a while now and even made a reported €200 million offer for the player back in 2021.

Mbappe scored 40 goals and added 10 assists in all competitions this past season. His total of 212 goals for PSG makes him the club’s all-time leading goalscorer.

Kylian Mbappe became Paris Saint-Germain’s all-time leading goalscorer in Ligue 1 on Saturday when he found the back of the net in his team’s 3-1 victory over Lens.

Mbappe opened the scoring for the reigning Ligue 1 champions in the 31st minute, grabbing his 139th goal in Ligue 1 for the team and thereby surpassing the previous record held by Edison Cavani.

The 24-year-old scored off of a pass from Vitinha, with Vitinha himself getting on the scoresheet just six minutes later to double the hosts’ lead. In the 40th minute, Lionel Messi scored after engaging in a series of passes with Kylian Mbappe in a fast-paced build-up.

Following the halftime break, PSG appeared to cool down from their hit streak in the latter stages of the first half, with Lens gaining some momentum. While Lens’ efforts paid off in the 60th minute when Przemyslaw Frankowski successfully converted a penalty, they were unable to find the other two goals they needed to reduce the deficit.

Star forward Lionel Messi and Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain reportedly failed to reach an agreement on a contract extension. French media outlet L’Equipe reported on Tuesday that this would likely lead to Messi’s departure from the club in the summer.

Messi is playing in the final year of his contract with PSG and is set to become a free agent at the end of the 2022-23 season. He has been negotiating a new deal with the French club for several months now, but the talks met a standstill recently.

The biggest issue, according to L’Equipe is that PSG wants Messi to take a 25% pay cut on his current annual salary of €40 million. But the player has shown unwillingness to agree to less money so far, and there is little hope this can be resolved.

Messi now seems open to listening to offers from other clubs. The proposed return to Barcelona doesn’t seem to be in the cards for the 35-year-old, considering the club’s financial situation, but several European powerhouses are believed to be keen on the Argentinean superstar. He is also expected to have lucrative offers from Major League Soccer and Saudi Arabia.

Lionel Messi led Argentina’s national team to a World Cup title last year but has failed to replicate his form from the tournament in PSG’s jersey. This was especially the case in the UEFA Champions League, where PSG was eliminated in the Round of 16 by Bayern Munich while failing to score a single goal. Messi has 18 goals and 17 assists in 33 matches played in all competitions for the French club this season.

Paris Saint-Germain was knocked out of the French Cup after losing 2-1 to Marseille in the round of 16 on Wednesday. Since PSG was taken over by Qatar Sport Investment (QSI) in 2011, Marseille had only defeated the reigning Ligue 1 champions on two occasions prior to Wednesday’s game.

Alexis Sanchez opened the scoring with a penalty to hand Marseille a 34th-minute lead before Sergio Ramos headed home an equalizer for the visitors on the stroke of halftime. Ruslan Malinovskyi fired home a half-volley from outside the box in the 57th minute to restore Marseille’s lead and send them into the quarterfinals.

“They pressed high and we did not manage to break the lines. It hurts because it was a Cup game against our great rival,” PSG captain Marquinos commented after the loss. He recommended that the team “shut [their] mouth and work” in order to recover from the loss.

So far, 2023 has proven to be a challenging year for PSG, with the team losing three games already. PSG’s season is about to get tougher as they prepare to face the in-form Bayern Munich in the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 clash.

Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Luis Campos has confirmed that the reigning Ligue 1 champions are in talks with Lionel Messi over a potential contract extension. The 35-year-old forward’s current contract with the club is set to lapse at the end of the season.

“At the moment we are negotiating with Messi his renewal,” Campos announced. “I’d love to keep him in the project, I can’t hide it. We are negotiating to achieve that goal and for him to continue with us.”

Having joined PSG in the summer of 2021 after Barcelona was unable to renew his contract, Messi struggled to make an impact during his first season in France. This season he has adjusted more to life in Paris, scoring 15 goals and making 14 assists in 25 appearances for the Ligue 1 club.

Messi has become a crucial member of the PSG lineup, particularly after leading Argentina to World Cup glory in 2022. With Kylian Mbappe injured since the 3-1 win over Montpellier on February 1, Messi has become a more relied-upon member of the squad.
