Following his return to the playing eleven, Lionel Messi will be desperate to make an impression. Notably, the forward had a disappointing Champions League debut for the club against Club Brugge. However, the crucial meeting with Manchester City will now offer Lionel Messi the ideal chance to make a statement.

In addition to the talismanic forward, PSG have also welcomed back Marco Verratti to their line-up for the game. As expected, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe complete the front-three for the Ligue 1 giants.

Furthermore, Gianluigi Donnarumma makes his Champions League debut as he starts ahead of Keylor Navas in goal.
