Team News

PSG
Club Bruges
  • Gigi Donnarumma is expected to start in goal after Keylor Navas' nightmare performance in midweek.
  • Only just fit, Sergio Ramos misses out again for Paris Saint-Germain with a muscle injury. Colin Dagba and Presnel Kimpembe are both doubts.
  • Georginio Wijnaldum saved PSG's blushes at the weekend and will push for a start in midweek.
  • Neymar won't return until 2022 with an ankle injury and Ander Herrera is expected to miss out as well with Julian Draxler.
  • Already through to the next round, Mauricio Pochettino has room to rotate here if he wants to. Marco Verratti may not be risked as a result.
  • Club Bruges have a fully fit squad to take on Paris Saint-Germain and no surprises are expected from the Belgian outfit.

Prediction

  • Paris Saint-Germain are guaranteed to finish second regardless of the result on Tuesday night. Mauricio Pochettino's side have only won one of their last four matches in all competitions.
  • Club Bruges are out of the Champions League and must better RB Leipzig's result on Tuesday to secure third place in Group A and Europa League knock-out football in 2022.
  • PSG were held to a 1-1 draw with Club Bruges in the reverse fixture and have conceded in all but one of their group games to date. They are favourites but Club Bruges can give them trouble.

  • PSG is Nothing without MESSI

  • Messi penalty.... Cue Ronaldogs

  • psg is a good team.

  • Great results for PSG. great adaptation results

  • 1 Messi goal, and this comment section will explode :-)

  • @Belinho Did it explode though?

  • @Belinho Just let it go.. why so obsessed and hate so much?

  • I wish PSG could play like this every week.

  • Hi all! Where can I find the throw-in stats? thanks in advance!

  • Mbappe's been almost flawless so far, but he does seem to be allergic to finishing chances assisted by Messi. The other way round hasn't been such a problem this year.

  • This would probably be something like 3:0. Everyone behave like PSG is Shaktar and Bruge is Bayern. Psg dont need to play so good to score 2 or 3 goals. Tbh I never watched any game of Club Bruges in my life but I know what usually happen at theese stages, games and oponnents. Very likely psg win. 2 to 4 goals from psg and 0 or 1 from Bruge.

  • Wijnaldum 2-1

  • PSG do not need to win ?

  • @Rensen I'm guessing the thinking behind the strong predicted lineup is that they need every opportunity they can get to try and gain some team cohesion...and reanimate the corpse of Lionel Messi that we've seen of late.

  • @jonejo34 the reanimation of messi
