Key events
PSG make two changes to their starting XI after last week’s first leg. Gonçalo Ramos and Lucas Beraldo come in for Bradley Barcola, who drops to the bench, and Lucas Hernandez, who tore his ACL in Dortmund.
Borussia Dortmund are in If It Ain’t Broke mode. They name exactly the same XI that started their victory at the Westfalenstadion. In between times, they’ve beaten Augsburg 5-1 in the Bundesliga; PSG didn’t play last weekend.

PSG: Donnarumma, Hakimi, Marquinhos, Lucas Beraldo, Nuno Mendes, Zaire Emery, Vitinha, Fabian, Dembele, Goncalo Ramos, Mbappe.

Preamble
Last Wednesday this happened …
… and if tonight’s second leg at the Parc des Princes proves to be even half as entertaining, we’ll be lucky people indeed. Will Niclas Füllkrug score another peach? Can Kylian Mbappé and Achraf Hakimi hit the inside of both posts in the space of ten seconds again? Will referee Daniele Orsato (Italy) prove a more competent official than Anthony Taylor (Cheshire)? The answers are maybe, probably not, and yes of course. Kick off in Paris is at 8pm BST, 9pm local. It’s on!
