The Paris Saint-Germain has had a poor start to the French Championship, with two draws and two losses. Their only victory so far has been in the Supercopa da Uefa against the Aston Villa. The team is currently in 14th place in the French league. Luis Enrique, the Paris Saint-Germain coach, acknowledges the team's poor performance but remains hopeful for a recovery.
The Slovan Bratislava, the current champion of Slovakia, has passed three elimination stages to qualify for the main phase of the Champions League for the second time in three years. Their goal is to make a better campaign than in the 2024/25 season, when they lost all eight games. The Slovan Bratislava is led by Yaya Touré, a former midfielder who won the Champions League with Barcelona in 2008/09. Touré has started his coaching career this year and has already led his team to the Champions League.
The match between the Paris Saint-Germain and the Slovan Bratislava will be broadcast live on HBO Max.
