The two-time winner will hope to three-peat the competition this season.
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have one of the most dangerous front lines in Europe. Kvicha Kvaratskhelia scored the most goals for the team in this tournament last season, with 10 in 16 appearances. He was only five points behind Kylian Mbappe, who won the Golden Boot.
Ever since the Spanish manager took over the reins, he has transformed the fortunes of Paris Saint-Germain, leading them to consecutive trophies in this competition. He will attempt to emulate Madrid’s three successive Champions League wins this season.
Enrique’s side has succeeded in the Champions League in previous years. They are undefeated in their previous 11 European matches, winning seven and drawing four.
Paris Saint-Germain have also gone six games undefeated at the Parc des Princes in this tournament. Celtic were the last reigning champions to lose their first European match at home, in 1968.
Slovan Bratislava advanced to the Champions League following an unblemished qualification campaign. As a result, Yaya Toure will be the first African coach to manage a team in this championship.
However, Toure’s charges have suffered a drop in form at the worst conceivable time. They’ve lost their last two games, albeit there was some rotation ahead of this Wednesday’s meeting.
