PSG in the knockout stages of the Champions League from the 5th day?

The Parisian coach therefore aligns all his vital forces, including Kylian Mbappé, Neymar (who would be suspended next week against Juventus in Turin in the event of a yellow card received this Tuesday evening) and Leo Messi in front.
Coach Galtier has once again opted for a four-man defense, notably with the return of Sergio Ramos, and a three-man midfield, without Marco Verratti (suspended) but with three recruits from the summer transfer window, Vitinha, Renato Sanches and l fit man of the moment Fabian Ruiz.
Note that the returning Presnel Kimpembe and Nuno Mendes start on the bench of substitutes.
Before kick-off, PSG shared the lead in Group H with Benfica (8 pts), far ahead of Maccabi Haifa and Juve (3 pts).
