Team news

Paris Saint-Germain striker Kylian Mbappe could start Tuesday's Champions League semi-final against RB Leipzig, as the French club target their first appearance in a Champions League final.

Mbappe came off the bench for the last half hour against Atalanta last week to set up the winning goal, and Tuchel told a news conference the France World Cup winner had suffered no reaction to his injured ankle.

Asked whether Mbappe could start in attack alongside Brazilian Neymar, Tuchel said: "Yes, he played 30 minutes against Atalanta and had no problems with his ankle," Tuchel said.

"Since then he has had six days to recover, he will train and if there is the possibility for him to start, we will see if can play the 90 minutes. We'll decide if it starts or if he comes into play (from the bench)," he added.

Goalkeeper Keylor Navas, who had to be replaced against Atalanta because of a right-leg muscle injury, has been listed as doubtful. Veteran defender Thiago Silva was expected to play after tests showed only a low-grade tear in his right hamstring.

It is unclear if Tyler Adams, who scored RB Leipzig's late winner over Atletico Madrid, will be on the bench again or will make the starting line-up.

A fascinating crossing of paths

When PSG face RB Leipzig, it will mark a fascinating crossing of paths for two of Germany's brightest coaches.

It was PSG's Thomas Tuchel who handed Leipzig's Julian Nagelsmann the chance to move into coaching when his promising career as a central defender was ended by a series of injuries.

Nagelsmann has conceded that when he learned another knee injury was going to end his career, while playing for Augsburg's reserve team, he was ready to leave behind the game altogether, having given so much of his youth to a dream that was over.

But Tuchel had limited resources and, well aware that Nagelsmann was a particularly intelligent and inquisitive player, asked him to undertake some scouting and analysis of upcoming opponents.

"The decision was should I annul the contract or try to find something else, I got to the chance to scout to analyse the opposition. Thomas liked what I did actually and it was one of the first steps on the way path to becoming a head coach," he told a news conference on Monday.

"I could never imagine it would lead to a Champions League semi-final and playing against Thomas Tuchel," he said.

Charlie's prediction

These are not the semi-finals that many people anticipated. I did think PSG would get here, but I also backed RB Leipzig to get past Atletico Madrid and I got that spot on.

• NOW TV Sky Sports Month Pass
• New kits from Europe: Real, Barca, Inter...

The way PSG stole it against Atalanta in the last tie, and the convincing performance Leipzig put in, should mean it will be a feast of attacking football yet again. Nobody is expecting Leipzig to have a chance, but of course they can beat PSG.

Neymar did miss some golden chances but his performance was excellent. The introduction of Kylian Mbappe was a game changer and PSG must look at it now thinking this has to be their time, surely.

PSG have to get through this, and if they do they could be expecting Bayern Munich in the final. This is PSG's time - Neymar is constantly looking at Real Madrid or Barcelona, Mbappe the same, but it is their time to shine. PSG will win the tournament from here.
