Both RB Leipzig and Paris SG are aiming to reach their first ever European Cup/Champions League final.
RB Leipzig would be the seventh different German team to reach the final (second only to English sides), while PSG would be the first French team to reach the showpiece since Monaco in 2003-04.
GOOD EVENING
Welcome for the live blog for RB Leipzig vs PSG.
The German club have reached the final four of the UEFA Champions League for the first time in the clubs 11 year history.
Julian Nagelsmann’s side beat Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid in spectacular fashion with a late strike from American international Tyler Adams.
Despite having former star man Timo Werner leave the club before the end of the competition, the German side managed to make the semi-finals.
PSG too stamped their place in the semi-finals in emphatic fashion with two late goals sinking Italian hotshots Atalanta.
Marquinhos and former Stoke City man Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting struck in the 90th minute to cancel out Mario Pašalić’s first half strike and rescue PSG’s Champions League dream.
Much like the quarter-final, RB Leipzig have almost a fully fit squad to pick from, with the only notable absentee being Ibrahima Konate.
Patrik Schick and Emil Forsberg are both knocking on the door for a starting place, but it is expected that Julian Nagelsmann will stick with the winning formula which took out Spanish giants Atletico.
Ligue 1 Champions PSG have confirmed that both Marco Verratti and first-team goalkeeper Keylor Navas will miss tonight’s game.
Sergio Rico is set to get the nod to start in goal and Tuchel also has Angel Di Maria to his disposal as the Argentines suspension came to an end.
Kylian Mbappe is also set to come back into the starting line-up after recovering from injury and playing a key role in the quarter-final heroic turnaround against Atalanta.
