What Does Paris Saint-Germain Need Against Dortmund to Avoid Elimination from the Champions League?

Paris Saint-Germain, led by their star Kylian Mbappé, faces the risk of early elimination from the Champions League when they visit Borussia Dortmund this evening, Wednesday, in the final round of the group stage. Borussia Dortmund, already qualified, tops Group F with 10 points, followed by Paris Saint-Germain in second place with seven points, Newcastle in third with five points, and AC Milan at the bottom of the group also with five points. The chances remain for PSG, Newcastle, and Milan to secure the second qualification spot from this group in the final round alongside Dortmund for the knockout stage.

The match between Newcastle and AC Milan will take place at the same time as the PSG vs. Dortmund match this evening (11:00 PM Saudi time). Here are the qualification scenarios in Group F:

- **Dortmund (10 points)**: They have secured qualification and will guarantee the top spot if they avoid losing against PSG.

- **PSG (7 points)**: They will qualify if they win against Dortmund. They can also qualify if they draw, provided Newcastle does not win against Milan, or even if they lose as long as the Newcastle vs. Milan match ends in a draw. Otherwise, PSG will finish in third place and compete in the Europa League knockout round.

- **Newcastle (5 points)**: They will qualify if they win against Milan and PSG does not win against Dortmund. Newcastle will finish in third place and compete in the Europa League knockout round if they win or if both they and PSG draw.

- **Milan (5 points)**: They will qualify if they win against Newcastle and PSG loses to Dortmund. Milan will finish in third place and qualify for the Europa League knockout round if they win and PSG avoids losing to Dortmund.
