Team news

The starting line-ups for both sides should be released in the next five to 10 minutes, so here’s a reminder of the early team news for both clubs...

PSG have no reported injury concerns, but Luis Enrique was able to rest several of his starters for the 3-0 win at Angers on Saturday. Osmane Dembele, Khivha Kvaratskheila, Desire Doue, Joao Vitinha and Marquinhos were rested completely and are all set to return.

Bayern will be without Serge Gnabry for the rest of the season and Lennart Karl is a doubt. Vincent Kompany also made several changes on Saturday but turned to the likes of Harry Kane, Michael Olise and Jamal Musiala when the second-string were 3-0 down at half-time to Mainz. Bayern promptly won 4-3, with Kane, Olise and Musiala all scoring.

Kompany on Kane

“People in England saw him as a goalscorer during his time playing there. His finishing and leadership were never underestimated,” said Vincent Kompany yesterday when asked about Harry Kane.

“We’ve seen other qualities too, such as his footballing intelligence. We can appreciate that now – it was perhaps somewhat underestimated in England. He’s like a fine wine that improves with age. I also enjoy that aspect of his,” added the Bayern boss.

Will Kane be key this evening in Paris?

What the managers have said

Kompany did speak in his pre-match press conference despite being suspended for tonight, and here’s what he had to say:

“Danksy has plenty of experience, was on the touchline for a while in England. I've got 100% confidence in the staff and everyone else,” he explained on his assistant taking over.

“I can turn the question around: What do they do with our attackers? It goes both ways. Both teams have an incredible amount of creativity, also in terms of positioning and finding solutions. It’s about details, intensity, and energy. We’re playing each other four times now. We have experience against them, but so does the opponent.” Kompany said when asked about the dangers presented by PSG’s attack.

On Luis Enrique, he added: “He’s doing an incredible job. A year and a half ago, when we beat Paris, a swarm of journalists was criticising Luis Enrique. But I felt back then what kind of team they had, and that something was happening here.

“They had a young team, but they sent a clear message. I wasn’t surprised that they won the Champions League. You can see that there’s a real team spirit in Luis Enrique’s teams,” he said.
