Beaten from the 8th finals in the last 3 editions of the Champions League, PSG was not reassured about the first leg played in Dortmund. Almost amorphous in an unusual tactical system, the Parisians were dominated by Borussia (2-1). Without any real competition on the national scene, the Ile-de-France club is still in the running for a quadruple (Trophée des Champions, Ligue 1, Coupe de la Ligue, Coupe de France). Since the first leg played against the Yellow Wall, the Parisians had a difficult first game against Bordeaux at home (4-3), before playing against Dijon (4-0) and releasing a halftone match on Wednesday last in Lyon in the semi-final of the Coupe de France (victory 1-5 after having been in difficulties for an hour, until the expulsion of Marçal). This weekend, the Parisians could not continue since their scheduled match in Strasbourg was postponed due to the coronavirus.

The staff for PSG vs Borussia Dortmund

For PSG, the midfielder replacement for Herrera is already in effect. On the other hand, captain Thiago Silva entered a race against the clock to play this essential match. In addition, holders Verratti and Meunier will be suspended. During the recovery phase, the lateral replacement for Dagba should be too tight. A victim of angina and absent from training on Monday, Mbappé is uncertain but we suspect that he should be able to play for this ultra important match. After an experimental 3-4-3 which did not work at all on the outward journey, Tuchel should return to his 4-4-2 with Di Maria and Neymar on the sides and Mbappé and Icardi in front (or Cavani to replace the ‘one of the two).
On Dortmund’s side, executives Reus, Delaney and Brandt absent in the first leg could all make their comeback. Preserved this weekend (returned at the 65th minute), Jordan Sancho will make his return to the starting lineup.
