Key players
Analysis:
The Cityzens are in good form off-late and had clinched the first leg of this semi-final by a slim margin of 1 goal. The final score stood at 2-1 and Kevin De Bruyne and Riyad Mahrez had scored the goals for City. City are also coming on the back off a 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur and are inches away from the Premier League title. Aymeric Laporte had scored in the previous game.
PSG on the other hand will have to reboot their system and bring on the killer mode forward. A draw in this leg would not make them qualify as they had conceded 2 goals in their previous home fixture. Thus, a win with more away goals is the only way they can qualify. Marquinhos was the lone goal-scorer for PSG in their previous leg fixture. In spite of dominating in the initial half of the game, PSG conceded 2 goals in the latter half. PSG are coming on the back off a win against Lens in the Ligue 1 and Neymar and Marquinhos had scored goals for them.
