Manchester City-PSG: Mauro Icardi and Ander Herrera holders

Without Kylian Mbappé, Mauricio Pochettino opts for Icardi at the position of number 9. To replace Idrissa Gueye, Herrera is chosen in the middle of


Mauricio Pochettino makes three changes from the first leg.

For this semi-final return against Manchester City, Mauro Icardi, Ander Herrera and Abdou Diallo start while Kylian Mbappé, affected in the right calf, Idrissa Gueye, suspended, and Mitchel Bakker, on the bench, come out of the starting eleven, as announced by The Team.

Mbappé is too fair to start, embarrassed since the defeat of the first leg (1-2) at the Parc des Princes, as explained on our site.

The world champion has not trained for six days, settling for an individual outing Monday at the Etihad Stadium without being able to sprint.

Pochettino therefore opts for the profile of Icardi, number 9 at heart.

The Argentine has scored five goals in four games since mid-April.

On the left side of the defense, Bakker gives way to Diallo, back in shape.

In the midfield, no Danilo or Draxler to digitally replace the suspended Gueye.

Herrera starts, as was the case in the final of the last edition or this season against Leipzig or in the quarter-finals to go to Munich.

The eleven of PSG:

Navas - Florenzi, Marquinhos (cap.), Kimpembe, Diallo - Paredes, Herrera - Di Maria, Verratti, Neymar - Icardi
