Champions League: PSG’s squad to face Bayern Munich

The moment is drawing near for Paris Saint-Germain. A few hours before the Champions League semi-final first leg against Bayern Munich, the capital club issued a medical bulletin that is most reassuring. Long hampered by a crowded infirmary, Paris is finally starting to regain its footing. With the exception of Ndjantou, ruled out for this match, Luis Enrique will be able to rely on a squad almost at full strength for this crucial European clash.

The main satisfaction concerns Vitinha’s return. A key piece of Paris’s midfield, the Portuguese midfielder had been forced to leave his teammates after a clash with Olympique Lyonnais. His return comes at the best moment, as PSG is about to play one of the most important matches of its season.

With a squad nearly complete and its leaders available, the Paris club approaches this confrontation with ambition. All the ingredients seem to be in place to hope to make a difference against a very high-level opponent. At the Parc des Princes, the time has come for Paris to confirm its European ambitions.
