UEFA Champions League knockout phase play-offs: What to Look Out For on Tuesday

The UEFA Champions League knockout phase is set to ignite the footballing world as four thrilling matchups unfold in the first legs of the Round of 16 playoffs.

Among the standout encounters, Manchester City will clash with Real Madrid, while Paris Saint-Germain faces fellow French club Brest. Here’s a preview of the action ahead.

Brest vs. Paris Saint-Germain

In what marks Brest’s inaugural Champions League campaign, owner Denis Le Saint expressed his excitement, likening the experience to “climbing Mont Blanc.” After advancing from the league phase with four wins and an impressive draw against German champions Bayer Leverkusen, Brest aims to continue their historic journey. Goalkeeper Marco Bizot stated, “We want to keep going and make even more history.”

However, Paris Saint-Germain, the reigning Ligue 1 champions, are in formidable form. After a convincing 4-1 victory against Stuttgart and a recent 5-2 win over Brest, Ousmane Dembélé has been in sensational shape, scoring hat-tricks in both matches. Coach Luis Enrique praised Dembélé’s contributions, saying, “It’s wonderful when you have a player like Ousmane in this form.”
