Paris Saint-Germain presents its lineup for the Round of 16 first-leg match against German powerhouse Bayern FC in the UEFA Champions League. The game will be held at Parc des Princes, PSG’s home field.

The return of Kylian Mbappe from injury is good news for PSG supporters. Despite the doctors’ advice to take a three-week break, he returned after 11 days. His performance against the German Champions might be impacted.

The starting lineups for today’s UCL game at Parc des Princes are listed below.

PSG: Vitinha; Messi; Neymar; Donnarumma; Danilo, Marquinhos, Ramos; Hakimi, Verratti, Fabián Ruiz, Nuno Mendes;

Bayern:Sané, Musiala, Coman, Kimmich, Goretzka, Cancelo, Upamecano, De Ligt, Muller,

Mbappe put on a standout display during a match against Pays de Cassel by scoring five goals in a single game and became the first Parisian to record a glut. He became the second player in FIFA World Cup Final versus Argentina to score a hat-trick.

Mbappe-less PSG has dropped two straight matches and was eliminated by Olympique de Marseille from the French Cup despite displaying perfect control in Ligue 1 and the French Cup.

PSG loses to Monacco by a score of 2-1, incurring another defeat. The lack of goals scored by Messi and Neymar in their prior games left PSG supporters unsatisfied.

Experts in the game predict that Bayern could easily win and that PSG could suffer a significant loss with a large goal differential. The six-time UCL champion overcame PSG in the 2019–20 season’s Champions League final. At 1-0, the game was over.

The quarterfinal matchup between the two clubs occurred once more. Mbappe scored twice in the first leg at the Allianz Arena to eliminate Bayern using the away goal rule.

German Champions have played five Champions League games without dropping a single match. Therefore PSG will face difficult opposition. At the same time, PSG’s previous Champions League games saw them win three and draw two.
