a strong squad. Nuno Mendes and Desire Doue after suffering minor issues at Anfield, made the squad against Angers and are expected to be available on Tuesday too. Furthermore, Fabian Ruiz recently returned to action after a two-month absence with a knee problem, and the Spaniard is on course to start Tuesday's contest whereas Vitinha is also returning from heel problem.
Bayern Munich
The visitors face a major setback as manager Kompany picked up his third yellow card of the tournament in the second-leg win over Real Madrid and is now suspended. Serge Gnabry, Tom Bischof, Lennart Karl, and Raphael Guerreiro are ruled out due to injury. However, Joshua Kimmich and Dayot Upamecano return after being rested, and Harry Kane aims to score in his sixth consecutive Champions League game.
While both sides possess incredible attacking talent, a high-scoring draw seems highly likely in this first leg. Historically, only two of the last eight meetings between these two European heavyweights have seen both teams score, but the current attacking form of both squads suggests a goal-fest is imminent. Paris Saint-Germain has been flexing their offensive muscles, scoring an impressive 12 goals in their last four European outings.

Bayern Munich arrives with immense momentum, riding a nine-game winning streak across all competitions.
Both Luis Enrique and Vincent Kompany (who will be missing from the touchline) afforded their key players rest over the weekend, meaning fresh legs will dictate the high-intensity tempo. Bayern carries the mental weight of losing their last five two-legged Champions League semi-finals, but they have also won five of their last six encounters against PSG. With a plethora of world-class attackers on the Parc des Princes pitch, Bayern possesses the offensive guile to match the hosts blow-for-blow, setting up a perfectly balanced second leg in Germany.
