PSG advances to Champions League playoffs, Stuttgart eliminated

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) secured a Champions League playoff spot with a dominant 4-1 victory over VfB Stuttgart, highlighted by a hat-trick from Ousmane Dembele. This win allowed PSG to qualify as one of the eight seeded teams for the upcoming draw, while Stuttgart was eliminated after a disappointing performance. Luis Enrique's side, who had faced elimination earlier in the tournament, turned their fortunes around by winning their last three matches, scoring 11 goals in the process. Bradley Barcola also contributed to the victory with a goal, while Stuttgart managed to score only once through Chris Fuehrich in the second half. The victory not only relieves pressure on coach Luis Enrique but keeps PSG's hopes alive for a Champions League title. Stuttgart's exit marks a disappointing return to the competition after 15 years away.
