AS Monaco has been drawn against Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League playoffs, prompting the Principality club's CEO to express reservations about the matchup's impact on French teams' progression. Monaco advanced to the playoffs with a draw against Juventus, while PSG missed the top eight after being held by Newcastle United.
