Men's football•
Check out the key facts and figures from Paris Saint-Germain's qualification for the UEFA Champions League round of 16, secured against AS Monaco in the return leg of their play-off tie.
Year after year, Paris Saint-Germain confirms its place among Europe's elite. By securing qualification for the Champions League round of 16, the capital club extended a remarkable run: fourteen consecutive appearances at this stage since the 2012-2013 season.
This consistency at the highest level illustrates the strength of the Parisian project. Over this period, only two European football giants, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, can boast such consistency - further proof of PSG's now firmly established status on the continental stage.
Beyond this impressive run, Paris is also demonstrating growing mastery in managing knockout matches. Under Luis Enrique's leadership, Les Rouge et Bleu have a particularly impressive record in return legs, which are often decisive in these two-legged ties.
With only two defeats in their last eight return legs (five wins and one draw), the Parisians are confirming their ability to make the difference at key moments. This positive momentum reflects a more mature team, capable of handling the pressure and imposing the rhythm when stakes are at their highest.
This success is also based on high-level individual performances. An exemplary captain, Marquinhos continued to make history for the club in the Champions League, bagging his 11th goal in the competition. This makes him - along with Ousmane Dembélé - the current squad's highest career goal scorer in the competition.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is also making his mark on the European stage. With four goals already this season, the Georgian winger has racked up a new personal best for goals in a single Champions League campaign.
Finally, Désiré Doué is confirming his current good form. Decisive in knockout matches, the young Parisian has been involved in nine Champions League goals since the start of last season (six goals and three assists), the highest total among players involved in the competition over this period.
