Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has a fully fit squad available for Tuesday's Champions League semi-final first leg against Bayern Munich at the Parc des Princes. The club confirmed its 23-man selection via its official social media channels, with midfielder Vitinha having recovered from a minor knock in time for the fixture. The match is scheduled for a 21:00 CET kick-off.
Vitinha's availability is a significant boost for the French champions, as the Portuguese international has been a consistent presence in midfield throughout their European campaign. His recovery means Enrique has no fresh injury concerns ahead of one of the biggest matches of the season, allowing for maximum tactical flexibility against the German giants.
This squad announcement comes at a crucial juncture for PSG, who are seeking to reach their first Champions League final since 2020. The club has invested heavily in its squad over recent seasons with the primary goal of securing European football's top prize, making progression past a seasoned opponent like Bayern imperative. The match also represents a key test for Enrique in his first season at the helm.
Bayern Munich, managed by Thomas Tuchel, arrive in Paris under pressure after ceding the Bundesliga title to Bayer Leverkusen. The Bavarian club will view the Champions League as their last chance for major silverware this season, setting the stage for a high-stakes encounter between two of Europe's most ambitious sides. The return leg is scheduled for next week at the Allianz Arena.
The full squad selection underscores PSG's depth, with star forwards Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele both included alongside captain Marquinhos. With all key players fit and the first leg being played at home, PSG will be expected to take an advantage to Munich, though Bayern's considerable experience in the latter stages of this competition ensures they remain formidable opponents.
