Players to Watch

Francisco Trincão (Sporting CP)

Francisco Trincão will be looking to step up his game so that he can help his side stand a chance against the Parisians. The 26-year-old can control the midfield well and is also capable of scoring goals. In five Champions League games this season, he has scored three goals and has an assist to his name.

Ousmane Dembele (PSG)

The Frenchman is coming in after scoring a sensational brace for Paris Saint-Germain in their previous league game. He is going to be a constant threat to the opponent’s defence. Even though he has only scored a single goal in the ongoing UCL campaign, Ousmane Dembele will play a crucial part in the attacking front.
