Good evening. It’s quite the game this evening, as the mega-rich Manchester City visit the equally flush Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final. I’ll save all of the important and necessary conversations about sports washing and the ethics of state-owned clubs for more qualified people to discuss – tonight let’s focus on enjoying watching two of the most entertaining teams in Europe take each other on.

City make four changes from the team that outclassed Tottenham in the League Cup final on Sunday, with Ederson, John Stones, Rodri and Bernardo Silva replacing Zack Steffen, Aymeric Laporte, Fernandinho and Raheem Sterling.
Mbappe was superb in the quarter-final against Bayern Munich, and is going to have to play a big part again in this tie if PSG are to make the final. You can read more about the forward’s huge importance in this excellent piece by Eurosport’s Vincent Bregevin and Ibrahim Mustapha.
The big team news for PSG is that Kylian Mbappe, who hobbled off against Metz on Saturday, is fit to start. So too is centre-back and captain Marquinhos, who has passed a late fitness test.
