On Wednesday, Paris Saint-Germain will face Borussia Dortmund in Germany in their final group-stage game, with more than just Champions League survival at stake. In Group F, PSG, Newcastle, and AC Milan all have the chance to join already-qualified Dortmund in the knockout stages. A win for PSG would ensure their qualification and potentially secure the top spot in the group.

Paris coach Luis Enrique emphasized the importance of focusing on their own performance. He acknowledged that a win would secure their first-place finish, but even a loss could see them through to the next phase. PSG's campaign started strong with a 2-0 win against Dortmund, but subsequent results have been inconsistent, including a 4-1 defeat to Newcastle and a 2-1 loss to Milan.

Dortmund, already assured of their place in the next round, still aim to avoid defeat to secure top spot in the group. Meanwhile, Newcastle and Milan, both on five points, need a victory to have any hope of qualifying in the group's other game.

For PSG, failing to win could mean an early exit from the Champions League, a situation that coach Luis Enrique and his team are keen to avoid. The club's history with the Champions League has been a mix of desire and disappointment, with early exits in recent years. Another premature exit could put pressure on Luis Enrique's position as coach.

The potential departure of star player Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid is a looming concern for PSG. Despite his sensational form, another Champions League disappointment could influence his decision to seek European glory elsewhere. On a positive note, breakout starlet Warren Zaire-Emery's return from injury provides a boost for PSG.

With their season potentially hanging in the balance, PSG will need all their key players to perform at their best to progress in the Champions League.
