For Bayer Leverkusen, it will be 3-4-2-1, with Frenchman Loïc Badé in particular as the hinge. Compared to the team that beat Mainz in the Bundesliga, Echeverri replaces Hoffmann within the tandem of attacking midfielders who will support Kofane, alone up front. Bayer Leverkusen's eleven:
Flekken – Andrich, BadĂ©, Tapsoba – Arthur, Fernandez, Garcia, Grimaldo – Echeverri, Poku – Kofane.
The composition of Paris Saint-Germain has fallen for this third C1 match for the title holders. Luis Enrique seems to have arranged his team in 4-3-3, with a return to the eleven of Hakimi, Pacho, Vitinha and Kvaratskhelia. The Parisian eleven: Chevalier – Hakimi, Zabarnyi, Pacho, Mendes – Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, DouĂ© – Kvarastkhelia, Mayulu, Barcola.
For this trip to Germany, PSG will be able to count on several important returns. First of all, Ousmane Dembélé. Injured on September 5 with the Blues, the new Golden Ball should start on the substitutes' bench this evening at the BayArena in Leverkusen before coming into play in the second period. Luis Enrique can also count on the return of Marquinhos, after recovering Désiré Doué, Vitinha and Kvaratskhelia during the last match.
The Parisians started the group stage of the C1 well, with two successes in two matches against Atalanta (4-0) and Barcelona (1-2), and hope to continue in the same way this Tuesday evening in Leverkusen. Bayer, for its part, drew two matches in the first two days, in Copenhagen (2-2) and against PSV Eindhoven (1-1).
Good evening and welcome to everyone to follow the match between Bayer Leverkusen and Paris Saint-Germain, counting for the 3rd day of the group stage of the Champions League. Kick-off will be at 9 p.m.
