If Paris Saint-Germain wants to win its first ever Champions League title this year, it must first survive the toughest league phase draw of all the Pot 1 sides. Despite PSG's dominance in Ligue 1 over the last decade, the club has never reproduced its domestic success in Europe's top competition. Even with some of the best players in the world representing the French giants over the years, including Kylian Mbappé, Lionel Messi and Neymar, PSG's trophy cabinet is still without a UCL title. The reigning French champions put together their best Champions League campaign back in 2020 but could not overcome Hansi Flick's Bayern Munich in the final, losing 1–0 at the Estádio da Luz in Lisbon, Portugal.
