And one more star for the shock.
As expected, Neymar returns to the PSG group for the first time since November 28.
The Brazilian is fully recovered from an ankle injury and could well walk the lawn of the Parc des Princes this evening (9 p.m.) against Real Madrid in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League.
The number 10 should not start the meeting as a starter but he is well able to play as explained on Monday by his coach Mauricio Pochettino and his teammate Marquinhos.
With 3 goalies and Simons
Twenty-four players are called up for the clash against Madrid, including three goalkeepers: Gianluigi Donnarumma, Keylor Navas and Alexandre Letellier.
The latter should take place in the gallery.
Xavi Simons is also the only "young" present in the group.
Holder against Rennes for the first time in Ligue 1 last Friday (1-0), the Dutch midfielder is rewarded by the Parisian staff.
The band for the Real Madrid reception tonight!

But without Ramos
The group is also unsurprising: the only notable absentee is Sergio Ramos, injured in a calf and who will not resume racing until next week.
Juan Bernat is not on the list of qualified players in the Champions League.
He therefore remains outside the convocation like the young Dina Ebimbe, Bisthiabu or Ismaël Gharbi.
