Whatever the outcome this Tuesday, January 30, around 8:30 p.m., the Paris FC girls will have won. When we are able to eliminate the semi-finalist and the finalist of the 2023 edition (Arsenal and Wolfsburg), to beat Real Madrid twice and to shatter the spectator record for a women’s match at Charléty (11,000 against Real, 13,000 to 14,000 expected against Chelsea), there will only be positives to take away. “We had a superb Champions League campaign.

Paris FC is indeed on the verge of a major feat. Mathematically, the data is simple. To qualify for sure in Group D for the quarter-finals, Paris FC (3rd, 7 points) will have to beat Chelsea (1st, 11 points) while counting on a misstep or a draw from Häcken (2nd, 8 pts) to Real Madrid (4th, 1 point).
