The three English teams left in the Champions League are one step closer towards learning their last-16 opponents.
For Liverpool, Arsenal and Aston Villa, they are down to two potential opponents each following the completion of the knockout round play-offs.
PSG demolished fellow Ligue 1 side Brest 7-0 on Wednesday night, following their one-sided 3-0 victory away from home.
Benfica, meanwhile, would be the more favourable draw after punching their ticket via a 4-3 aggregate win over AS Monaco.
A two-legged clash against PSG would be no reward for finishing top of the league phase with seven wins from eight matches.
Slot's mind was elsewhere when Liverpool's path to Champions League glory became that little bit clearer, as he oversaw a 2-2 draw at Villa Park on Wednesday while the play-offs were taking place.
Feyenoord and PSV Eindhoven both pulled off Italian giant killings in their respective play-offs, with Feyenoord downing AC Milan and PSV ousting Juventus after extra-time.
The Gunners finished third in the league phase, and they will be desperate to credit the hard work of manager Mikel Arteta with a blockbuster triumph, having only won one major trophy during his five years in charge.
Villa battled their way to a point against the Premier League leaders on Wednesday and they too will have seen their pool of possible Champions League opponents narrow upon returning to the dressing room.
Unai Emery's men will play either Borussia Dortmund, who comfortably saw off Sporting over two legs, or Club Brugge, who were similarly convincing in their win over Serie A side Atalanta.
The draw for the last 16, quarter-finals and semi-finals will take place on Friday at 11am (GMT) at the House of European Football in Nyon, Switzerland.
