Leipzig make one change to the lineup that started their semi-final win over Atletico Madrid – and it’s to bring in another Frenchman: defender Nordi Mukiele joins his compatriots Upemeacno and Nkunku in the side that will attempt to take down PSG. As noted here by a man of taste and wisdom, what a scrumptious irony it would be if, after years of domination in Ligue 1, PSG were dumped out of Europe by French opponents.
As for PSG, they were never going to leave out Mbappé – but can he last the whole match? Di Maria comes back into the side, too, as Icardi drops to the bench. Paredes replaces the injured Gueye.
