When Kylian Mbappé takes to the pitch at the Parc des Princes on Tuesday night, he is sure to be greeted with loud cheers and applause.
It will be his last Champions League match in the French capital in a Paris Saint-Germain shirt.
Mbappe is due to leave the club this summer after seven seasons in charge and hopes his journey ends with a Champions League win at Wembley on June 1.
However, Mbappe's first priority will be to plan a fightback in the second semi-final leg against Borussia Dortmund, which they led 1-0 after last week's first leg in Germany.
The French striker had a disappointing first leg and PSG are currently hoping that a strong reaction from the club's all-time top scorer can make up the difference, especially after failing to score in their last two games against Dortmund. are doing.
“I am confident that we can recover from that score and qualify for the final,” Mbappé said on Sunday, as reported by French media.
To support Mbappe, PSG have a wealth of strength up front, including Ousmane Dembele, Bradley Barcola, Gonzalo Ramos and Randal Kolo Muani.
Luis Enrique has further doubts about his defense after former Bayern Munich defender Lucas Hernandez is ruled out for the rest of the season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament that will require surgery.
The injury was a big blow to PSG, who have conceded 14 goals in all competitions this season, but the combination of Marquinhos and Hernández has finally stabilized the core of their defense.
Hernandez was forced off with an injury in last week's game against Dortmund and Lucas Berardo was brought on in his place, but the Brazilian's lack of experience was clear.
However, coach Luis Enrique will have to consider giving him a starting role or trust Milan Skriniar, who has returned from injury and lacks competition and rhythm. Another option would be to combine Danilo Pereira with Marquinhos to give Dortmund more strength and presence in the air, especially in set-pieces.
A solid defense will once again be important for PSG this season, as they face teams with excellent attacks and 11 different scorers on the European stage.
The winner will face Real Madrid or Bayern Munich in the final in London. The archrivals drew 2-2 in the first leg of the semi-final in Germany.
PSG had a rest day after winning the French league, but they have never won a championship in competition with Europe's top clubs. Dortmund won the 1997 title.
