The essential
Thomas Tuchel's PSG are playing very big tonight at home against Leipzig.
Kick-off 9:00 p.m.
"It's a final for us," admitted the German coach.
A third defeat in this group stage would greatly compromise the chances of qualifying for the round of 16.
Beaten a fortnight ago by the Germans (2-1), the club relies heavily on its attacking trio Mbappé-Neymar-Di Maria.
The team will evolve in 4-3-3 with Danilo-Herrera-Paredes in the midfield, and Bakker in the left side, preferred to Kurzawa.
