Can PSG finally win Champions League without Kylian Mbappe?
For years, the spectre of Kylian Mbappe's long-rumoured move to Real Madrid hung over every summer transfer window. Finally, he's made the move to the Spanish capital but PSG have been able to rebuild with a more egalitarian style of play.
Speaking to reporters ahead of tonight's game, head coach Luis Enrique said: "The strength of our team is that we don't depend on just one player."
"So I'm expecting individual development from each of my players, as well as collective development. But so far, I'm satisfied with what I'm seeing. Tomorrow, we'll be brave once again, we'll take risks in defence and we'll attack. If Bayern are better than us, then we'll congratulate them and get back to work."

French forward Kingsley Coman starts for Bayern Munich tonight, taking on former team PSG. The Parisian actually came through the ranks at PSG before moving on to Juventus and later Bayern Munich.
Most gallingly of all for PSG, it was Coman who scored the decisive goal for Bayern in their 1-0 Champions League final victory between the two teams in 2020. Will he inflict more pain on PSG tonight?
