PSG begin their Champions League title defence against Slovan Bratislava
Luis Enrique’s side are chasing a historic third consecutive UCL title
PSG are looking for their first Ligue 1 win of the season
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) will begin the defence of their UEFA Champions League title against Slovakian side Slovan Bratislava on Wednesday, September 9. Luis Enrique’s team have been the best side in Europe's premier club competition over the last two seasons.
They have won the Champions League in each of the last two seasons and are now chasing a historic third consecutive title, a feat previously achieved only by Real Madrid in the Champions League era.
PSG have also won Ligue 1 five consecutive times, but they have not made the best start to their domestic campaign this season. After winning the UEFA Super Cup, they lost the Trophée des Champions to Lens and are yet to win a Ligue 1 game, having drawn twice and lost to Monaco last weekend. They are currently 13th in the French top flight.
Their opponents, Slovan Bratislava, are no strangers to European football. They played in the UEFA Conference League league phase last season after exiting the Champions League in the third qualifying round and the Europa League play-offs.
Slovan had previously featured in the Champions League league phase in the 2024-25 season after winning all their qualifying matches. However, their campaign was short-lived as they failed to win a single match, finishing 35th in the league phase.
Yaya Touré’s side enter the match as reigning Slovak champions after winning the 2025-26 domestic league title.
PSG and Slovan Bratislava have never met in the UEFA Champions League. The last meeting between them came in the 2011-12 UEFA Europa League group stage, when the Parisians won 1-0 at home after a 0-0 draw in the reverse fixture in Slovakia.
