  • PSG and Real Madrid are placed at the top and second spot of the table in Group B, Group leader being Bayern Munich.
  • PSG are through. They will finish at the top, if they avoid defeat in Madrid.
  • Real Madrid will be through if they beat Paris, or if Club Brugge fail to win at Galatasaray. Even with a draw today, they are most likely to secure a berth in knock out round, but a loss can jeopardise their chances.
  • Real Madrid are unbeaten at home in all competitions this season and have been much improved since their defeat in Paris.
  • Neymar and Mbappe are now fit and Tuchel will likely start the pair together for the first time this season, along with Mauro Icardi.
  • Marco Verratti and Ander Herrera are doubts, while Thilo Kehrer remains sidelined.
