Manchester United vs Paris Saint Germain (PSG) Tickets

The cream of the crop meets head-on in this potential UEFA Champions League classic, and those looking to find tickets for Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain will have their pick of the best-priced options here at SeatPick.

Manchester United will be looking to revive their fortunes in the competition while PSG continue to pursue their first top-tier European trophy.

Indeed, you could argue that the massive sums invested in the French club by their cash-rich owners have been pumped in with the very goal of clinching a maiden UEFA Champions League triumph, something they have got very close to achieving in the not-so-distant past.

Manchester United are three-time winners of the competition. The first success came in 1968 against Benfica at Wembley Stadium, which meant they were the first English side to achieve that feat.

Then, over 30 years later, Sir Alex Ferguson earned the club a second top European crown on a memorable night in Barcelona. This win came in injury time when first Teddy Sheringham and then Ole Gunnar Solskjaer netted to give the Premier League side a famous win.

Nine years later, in Moscow, they defeated Chelsea on penalties to collect a third title before two losses to FC Barcelona in finals in Rome and London saw them come back down to earth with a bump.

Subsequent Manchester United managers, from David Moyes, Louis van Gaal, Jose Mourinho, and Solskjaer, UEFA Champions League action has been brief, if at all, and Erik ten Hag has at least brought them back to the competition after a season away in the UEFA Europa League.

PSG’s first involvement in the competition came in 1986/87 when they were knocked out in the First Round by Vitokovice of then Czechoslovakia.

Their first campaign in the newly formed UEFA Champions League proved far more effective, with the Parisiens bowing out in the Semi-Finals to AC Milan. Their continued presence in the competition began to prove more repetitive from 2012/13 onwards.

Indeed, from 2012/13 to 2023/24, PSG competed in the competition in every season, and in that period, they have never failed to secure a path through the initial group stage. In the first four of those campaigns, they were duly eliminated in the Quarter-Finals, and in 2019/20, they finally got to the final.

Here, they faced Bayern Munich in Lisbon in front of an empty stadium due to coronavirus restrictions, and they were edged out by a single Kingsley Coman goal, the winger having previously represented PSG, and their dream was over for that campaign.

The money invested in the club and the conveyor belt of stars signed has been chiefly for the goal of holding aloft the UEFA Champions League trophy, a goal they still seek, only now without the likes of Neymar and Lionel Messi to help them get there.

Manchester United vs Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) Head-to-Head

Manchester United have met PSG in two different European campaigns, and the first proved to be a thrilling Round of 16 fixture in 2019. Goals from Pascal Kimpembe and Kylian Mbappe had given Thomas Tuchel’s side a seemingly unassailable 2-0 win to take to the French capital.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had other ideas. Romelu Lukaku scored after just two minutes, but Juan Bernat soon leveled on the night before Lukaku scored again after 30 minutes. The game then appeared to be heading towards a PSG aggregate win when Manchester United were awarded a very late penalty, with England international Marcus Rashford cooly stepping up to fire home and eliminate their hosts.

Two years later, they were drawn together in the group stage, and United won 2-1 at the Parc des Princes, and PSG returned the favour by winning 3-1 at Old Trafford.
