Insights / Post Match

PSG have won 11 of their last 13 UEFA Champions League matches (L2), netting 2+ goals in 10 of those matches. Since the start of December when that run began, no side has won more matches or scored more goals (39) in the competition.

Atalanta have lost each of their last three UEFA Champions League games, just the second time that they’ve suffered that fate, after losing each of their first three matches in the competition against Dinamo Zagreb, Shakhtar Donetsk and Manchester City during the 2019-20 campaign.

Throughout the calendar year of 2025, PSG have scored 36 goals across their 11 UEFA Champions League games, with their average of 3.27 goals per match during that time only bettered by Bayern Munich in 2020 (3.36) in the competition’s history over a calendar year.

Insights / Pre Match

This will be just the second meeting between Paris SG and Atalanta, following a victory for the French side in the UEFA Champions League quarter-final in 2019-20 (2-1 in a single game tie).

Only one of the last 11 meetings between Paris SG and an Italian side in major European competition have been won by the Italians (Milan 2-1 Paris SG in November 2023). Indeed, the French side’s last game in the UEFA Champions League was a 5-0 victory over Internazionale in last season’s final – the biggest ever margin of victory in a European Cup/Champions League showpiece.

Only one of the last 30 holders of the UEFA Champions League have lost their opening match in the following campaign (W19 D10), with Liverpool losing away to Napoli in the 2019-20 edition (0-2).

Paris SG boss Luis Enrique has won 64.5% of his games as a manager in the UEFA Champions League (40/62), with this the highest win percentage of any individual with 50+ matches overseen.

Atalanta’s current boss, Ivan Juric, has never previously managed in the UEFA Champions League. Indeed, his only experience as a coach in major European competition (excluding qualifiers) came in last season’s UEFA Europa League, overseeing four games in charge of Roma (W1 D2 L1).
