RB Leipzig vs PSG

As I would like to say Money v Money, both of the team are financially backed -- by multi-billionaire owners. But the PSG are the ones who will feel more pressure than their German counterpart. Leipzig beat Atletico to reach the semis, they tore Simeone's well-drilled team apart. Played some wonderful football, they are the underdog --With nothing on the line for them, they might fancy taking on PSG. On the other hand, PSG must be fancy themselves to reach the finals for the first time in their history. With the likes of Neymar, Mbappe, and Icardi leading the charges, without a shimmer of doubt, they fancy the chance of winning this year. For Leipzig, this is there first ever knockout experience in Europe's premier club competition. They lacked a cutting edge for the most part and had a good fortune with Adams' shot that took a massive deflection to outwit Jan Oblak. PSG was far from at their best against Atalanta, with Neymar in particular, with his shooting boot off the mark. But they possess the firepower necessary to work their way out of tricky positions.

PREDICTION: RB Leipzig 1 - 2 PSG

Highly-rated Leipzig coach Julian Nagelsmann will no doubt be relishing the chance to tactically outwit former mentor Tuchel, but this may prove a step too far for his side as PSG look to make the final after so many high-profile failures on Europe's biggest stage.
