The Champions League is back.

More than three months of break is coming to an end and at a good and successful time the round of 16 games at the prestigious establishment are underway, with the focus being this evening (Tuesday) on the heated battle between Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich.

This is a replay of the Champions League final from August 2020, when Kingsley Coman won the match with the only goal of the game.

Also in the 2020/21 season, the teams met, in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, and then Paris Saint-Germain came out with the upper hand thanks to a 3:2 away win, which was enough for them despite a 1:0 home loss in the return leg thanks to the away goals advantage that existed at the time.

Kylian Mbappe was surprisingly included in the squad of the French champions, but he is still not 100 percent fit and remains on the bench.

Lionel Messi and Marco Verratti are fit, and the one who got the team shirt is the 16-year-old prodigy, Warren Zaire-Emery.

On the other hand, Sadio Mane has not yet returned to the Bavarians' squad, who will hope to get a good result at Parc de France and move the decision to Munich.

Julian Nagelsmann came up with three brakes and placed Kingsley Coman and the new acquisition Joao Cancelo on the wings.

Eric Maxim Shopo Moting at the edge, also Jamal Musiale and Leroy Sana in the front.

Galtier's surprise.
