Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) secured their spot in the Champions League playoffs with a dominant 4-1 victory over VfB Stuttgart. Ousmane Dembele was the star of the match, scoring a hat-trick, while Bradley Barcola added another goal. This win ensured PSG's qualification as one of the seeded teams for the upcoming draw, despite finishing 15th in the league initially. Stuttgart, who struggled in the first half, managed to score through Chris Fuehrich but couldn't recover.

Under Luis Enrique's leadership, PSG faced uncertainty earlier in the season but rallied impressively with three consecutive wins and 11 goals in total. They will now await the draw to determine their playoff opponent, potentially either Stade Brestois or Monaco, both from Ligue 1. The match saw PSG take an early lead through Barcola's header, followed by Dembele's clinical finish after a swift counter-attack initiated by Barcola.
