Update:

PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino is expecting a different Real Madrid team ahead of the second leg of the Champions League game.

Both teams are dealing with some injuries, but it isn't just that which makes tonight's game different. "It is a final and for this reason it is going to require absolute concentration and, above all, adapting to the conditions that have changed in three weeks," said Pochettino.
