Opponents Benfica will not change their game plans much as it seemed to have worked in the previous leg.

Lionel Messi is out for PSG which is a huge blow for the home side. The Argentine skipper suffered a calf problem at the Estadio da Luz and has failed to recover in time. He is joined by Nuno Mendes, Renato Sanches, and Presnel Kimpembe on the sidelines. Kylian Mbappe will play as the lone striker with Neymar and Paolo Sarabia as the playmakers behind him. Marco Verratti and Vitinha will be tasked with winning the midfield battle.
Lucas Veríssimo, Joao Victor, and Morato are ruled out for Benfica with fitness issues. Goncalo Ramos is a threat for PSG with his goal-scoring prowess and Rafa Silva will be deployed as the no 10 behind the striker. Joao Mario and David Neres on the wings will need to fall back and help in defence with the visitors not expected to dominate possession.
