PSG Team News

PSG manager Luis Enrique faces a significant defensive challenge for this semifinal, with two key players suspended. Both Willian Pacho and Lucas Hernández received straight red cards in the quarterfinal win against Bayern Munich and will be unavailable. Lucas Beraldo is expected to step in for Pacho in central defense. On a positive note, Ousmane Dembele, who missed the group stage due to injury, has returned to full fitness and is a strong contender to start after impressing off the bench against Bayern. Nordi Mukiele remains the only other injury absentee. Midfielders João Neves, Fabian Ruiz, and captain Marquinhos are all on a single yellow card and would miss the final if booked in this match.

Real Madrid Team News

Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso has some defensive adjustments to make. Dean Huijsen is suspended after receiving a red card in the thrilling quarterfinal victory over Borussia Dortmund. Eder Militao is back on the bench, but Raúl Asencio is more likely to partner Antonio Rüdiger in central defense given Militao’s lack of match practice. David Alaba, Eduardo Camavinga, and Ferland Mendy remain out with injuries. However, the biggest news is the full fitness of Kylian Mbappé, who recovered from gastroenteritis and scored the decisive goal against Dortmund; he is expected to start against his former club. Jude Bellingham will also be keen to make an impact against a major European rival. Federico Valverde, Arda Güler, and Aurélien Tchouaméni are set to anchor the midfield.

Real Madrid Predicted Lineup vs. PSG

Real Madrid predicted lineup vs. PSG (4-3-1-2): Courtois (GK); Alexander-Arnold, Asencio, Rüdiger, F. García; Valverde, Tchouaméni, Güler; Bellingham; Vinícius Júnior, Mbappé.

PSG vs. Real Madrid Score Prediction

This semifinal is a true European heavyweight clash, intensified by the Mbappé factor. Real Madrid has shown their championship pedigree by navigating difficult knockout ties, and Mbappé’s return provides an immense boost to their already potent attack. PSG, despite defensive suspensions, has been defensively solid and devastating in attack, highlighted by Kvaratskhelia and Dembele’s form. The midfield battle will be crucial, with Real’s dynamism clashing with PSG’s controlled possession. While PSG will be motivated, Real Madrid’s experience in big knockout games and the sheer offensive power of Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior, combined with the leadership of Bellingham, might be enough to see them through in what promises to be a goal-filled spectacle.

Prediction: PSG 2–3 Real Madrid.
