Marseille and Monaco Edge Closer to Champions League Qualification as PSG Women Face Elimination

In the latest UEFA Champions League matches of December 2025, French clubs Olympique de Marseille and AS Monaco secured important victories, boosting their chances of progressing to the knockout stages, while the PSG women's team faced elimination after a goalless draw.

Olympique de Marseille triumphed over Union Saint-Gilloise with a narrow 3-2 win, amassing nine points in their group. This result notably improves their standing and brings them closer to qualification. Similarly, AS Monaco achieved a victory against Galatasaray, also reaching nine points, strengthening their position within their group.

Conversely, the PSG women's football team was officially eliminated from the Champions League following a 0-0 stalemate with Belgian side Louvain at the Parc des Princes. This draw leaves PSG's women with just one point and in 16th place in the group standings, four points shy of qualifying. This marks a continued poor run for the team, who have not won a Champions League match since March 2024. Despite holding the majority of possession during the match, PSG's women struggled to generate clear scoring opportunities, with efforts from players like Jennifer Echegini and Vitoria Yaya falling short. Defender Griedge Mbock missed a late chance to secure a win.

The PSG women's squad will face Benfica Lisbon next week in their final group stage match, aiming to finish on a more positive note.

Additional highlights from the competition included Liverpool securing a reassuring victory over Inter Milan.

These developments underline the contrasting fortunes of French clubs in the UEFA Champions League this December, with Marseille and Monaco progressing strongly, while PSG's women face an early exit.
