It's not Liverpool: Kylian Mbappé dreams of playing for these English giants

For Luis Enrique's team it will be a great opportunity. They were second in their group, behind Borussia Dortmund, and were afraid of facing a European giant in the round of 16 (as it happened to them in 2022 and 2023 against Real Madrid and Bayern Munich), but they were lucky and got the Spanish side. However, the coach knows that they cannot relax, as their opponents are a competitive team with top-level players.

That is why this Wednesday at the Parc des Princes PSG will have all their stars on the field to try to get an advantage that will allow them to go to the second leg in Spain with a bit of calm. The most important thing is that Kylian Mbappé, who was unable to play the last few games due to physical problems and was taken care of to be in optimal conditions vs Real Sociedad, will return to the lineup.

The starting lineup chosen by Luis Enrique is: Gianluigi Donnarumma; Achraf Hakimi, Danilo Pereira, Marquinhos, Beraldo; Warren Zaire-Emery, Fabian Ruiz, Vitinha; Ousmane Dembélé, Kylian Mbappé, Bradley Barcola. Also on the bench will be Keylor Navas, Arnau Tenas, Lucas Hernandez, Nordi Mukiele, Carlos Soler, Manuel Ugarte, Senny Mayulu, Ethan Mbappé, Marco Asensio, Randal Kolo Muani and Goncalo Ramos.
