The line-ups of Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid for the return in the eighth final of the Champions League have been announced. Kylian Mbappe appears to be fit enough to kick off on behalf of the visitors. The attacker had to leave training on Monday after Idrissa Gueye stood hard on his foot. Georginio Wijnaldum is on the bench at PSG. Real Madrid must try to make up for a 1-0 defeat of three weeks ago during the return, which starts at 9 p.m. in the Santiago Bernabeu.
Mauricio Pochettino has chosen to place Mbappe in the starting line-up. PSG already announced on Monday evening that the first medical tests had shown that Mbappé had not broken anything and is ‘just’ part of the selection. Sergio Ramos and Layvin Kurzawa are out due to injuries. Below the bar, Gianluigi Donnarumma is preferred over Keylor Navas. The two goalkeepers alternate continuously this season.
Real Madrid will have to do without Ferland Mendy and Casemiro during the return in the eighth final of the Champions League. Both players encountered a yellow card during the first leg in Paris and were therefore suspended. With the Madrilenians there was especially a question mark behind the name of Toni Kroos. The German midfielder missed the game against Real Sociedad due to a hamstring injury, but has been found fit to start against PSG in the starting line-up.
Real Madrid line-up: Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Alaba, Nacho; Valverde, Kroos, Modric; Asensio, Benzema, Vinicius.
Line-up Paris Saint Germain: Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Kimpembe, Nuno Mendes; Danilo, Verratti, Paredes; Messi, Mbappe, Neymar.
