Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich triumphed comfortably in their last Champions League game, but all of them failed to finish in the top eight despite that.The defending champions, Los Blancos, defeated Brest away 3-0 thanks to Rodrygo’s double and Jude Bellingham’s goal.However, results elsewhere mean that Carlo Ancelotti’s team has to play an extra two-legged playoff tie, possibly even against Manchester City.MAN CITY COULD EITHER PLAY REAL MADRID OR BAYERN MUNICH IN THE KO PLAYOFF 😮💨🔥THIS FORMAT IS SCENES! 🍿 pic.twitter.com/wtMQ9exBjo— ESPN FC (@ESPNFC) January 29, 2025 Luis Enrique’s PSG ran riots at Stuttgart, destroying the Bundesliga side 4-1 on the back of Ousmane Dembele’s hat-trick. Impeccable Bradley Barcola opened the scoring before Dembele put on a spectacular show to secure his team’s qualification for the playoff stage, where they could face Monaco or Brest and, in case of victory, Liverpool in the Round of 16.pic.twitter.com/gfwPtj8ZoW— PSG Pictures That Go Hard (@PSGColdPics) January 29, 2025 Finally, Bayern Munich routinely cruised to victory at home against Slovan Bratislava, 3-1, and finished 12th. Muller, Kane and Coman put their names on the scoreboard as the Bavarians booked themselves a ticket for the next stage. And who’s next for Vincent Kompany’s side? Celtic or Manchester City.
