Opposition Focus

Paris Saint-Germain has been using a three-man midfield in the knockout games. Meanwhile, there are three forwards on the pitch for the French champions with Neymar Jr. operating as number ten or a false nine role. Kylian Mbappe and Angel Di Maria are the wide players for PSG.

Neymar is the most dangerous player for the French champions in the final third. The Brazilian forward has been unfortunate with injuries during the knockout round of the Champions League in the last couple of years. However, this season he is fit and making a difference in the final third with his dribbling and creative passing.

Along with Neymar, Mbappe and Di Maria are dangerous outlets in the final third. The two forwards have pace and trickery to beat full-backs and make darting runs in the box. Die Roten will have to concentrate defensively against these three tricky forwards to nullify their threat.

Marco Veratti returning to the starting lineup will be a big boost for PSG. He has been on sidelines due to minor injury, but he got few minutes on the pitch against RB Leipzig. The German champions will have to make sure that their pressing is organized, giving the Italian midfielder very little time on the ball to dictate the tempo of the game.
