Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) host Newcastle United at the Parc des Princes this Wednesday, January 28, 2026, for a critical Matchday 8 fixture in the Champions League league phase. The reigning Champions League holders currently sit in 6th place with 13 points and can secure an automatic spot in the last 16 with a victory today.
Luis Enrique’s side enters the match looking to recover from a recent 2-1 defeat to Sporting Lisbon. PSG face several fitness concerns: Fabian Ruiz is out with a knee injury, while Joao Neves and Lee Kang-in remain doubtful.
However, the team is bolstered by the return of Lucas Hernandez from suspension and Achraf Hakimi, who is back from AFCON duty. The offense will be led by Ousmane Dembélé and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, as PSG aim to maintain their strong home record against English opposition.
Newcastle United
Newcastle United arrive in Paris sitting in 7th place, level on 13 points with their hosts but trailing on goal difference. Like PSG, the Magpies have already guaranteed a play-off spot but need a win to secure automatic qualification for the knockout stage.
Manager Eddie Howe faces a major injury blow as Brazilian midfielder Joelinton has been ruled out for several weeks with a groin injury.
Captain Bruno Guimaraes is also a major doubt following an ankle problem, though he traveled with the squad for assessment. Newcastle will look to Harvey Barnes, who has been in clinical form, and Anthony Gordon to exploit the Parisian defense.
Despite their struggles on the road this season, Newcastle remain undefeated in their last two competitive meetings with PSG.
