Paris Saint-Germain Women secured a spot in the UEFA Women’s Champions League league phase after defeating Eintracht Frankfurt with a 6-2 aggregate score. Following a 1-1 draw in the first leg, the decisive second leg ended 5-1 in extra time, with goals from Merveille Kanjinga, Sakina Karchaoui, and Rasheedat Ajibade. The Champions League draw has presented a challenging schedule for PSG, including home matches against Bayern Munich, Juventus, and OH Leuven, alongside difficult away fixtures against Chelsea, Real Madrid, and Manchester City.

Following this success, defender Elisa De Almeida announced her departure from Paris Saint-Germain. Arsenal Women reached an agreement to sign the 28-year-old French centre-back for an estimated €600,000. The transfer aims to bolster Arsenal’s defensive depth following injuries to players such as Katie Reid, whose anterior cruciate ligament injury is not expected to see her return before November. De Almeida, who has played over 150 matches for PSG, offers versatility as both a centre-back and a right-back, bringing experience from the 2023 World Cup and 2025 European Championships.
