Players to Watch

Borussia Dortmund and Paris St. Germain have two of the most devastating strike forces in Europe. There will be some very talented players on show at the Westfalenstadion on Tuesday. All eyes will be on the two sets of attackers, who are very capable of producing game changing moments on their own.

Erling Haaland has been scoring for fun since moving to Borussia Dortmund, and he will be aiming to add to his impressive Champions League record on Tuesday. Jadon Sancho is in the form of his life, and has scored or assisted a goal in each of Dortmund’s five league games since the turn of the year. Expect him to cause a lot of problems to the PSG defenders.

PSG have several talented players of their own, and their forward line is among the best in the world.

Kylian Mbappe scored three goals to help AS Monaco knock Borussia Dortmund out of the Champions League in 2017. Now at Paris St. Germain, Mbappe has only gotten better since then, and the Dortmund defenders will have to be at their best to keep him quiet.

Neymar has never faced Borussia Dortmund in his career, but his record speaks for itself. He is one of the world’s best players who is capable of wreaking havoc on opposition defences. It will be interesting to see who Lucien Favre picks to mark him on Tuesday.
