Team News

Paris Saint-Germain:
Luis Enrique is without Ousmane Dembele due to injury, while key attacking options like Kvaratskhelia and Vitinha may start on the bench. PSG will rely heavily on their home form and the creativity of Kang-In Lee and Warren Zaire-Emery in midfield. Goncalo Ramos will lead the line with Barcola and Mbaye offering pace out wide.

Arsenal:
Mikel Arteta faces a defensive crisis with Gabriel Magalhaes, Tomiyasu, Calafiori and Jorginho all unavailable. Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli remain key attacking outlets, while Declan Rice and Odegaard will anchor the midfield. Raya starts in goal with a reshuffled backline that could test Arsenal’s ability to contain PSG’s counterattacks.
