Imagine a few Evertonians will be tuning into this match tonight to check on Kean. The 20-year-old scored two EFL Cup goals for the Toffees earlier this season prior to his surprise loan move to Paris. He's got four goals in five for Tuchel's side so far, including doubles against Dijon and Basaksehir.

More from Nagelsmann: "I see the two games against Paris as a knockout tie. It's all about getting more points from these games than they do, so four points from the two games would be good. You don't have another 34 games to make up for bad results (in the Champions League). The pressure is on, but it's a privilege to have that pressure. That means there is something at stake. If it wasn’t, it would be quite boring."

An interesting stat from the teamsheet: RB Leipzig is the FIRST German team to start a Champions League match without a single German player in its starting XI.

Leipzig coach Julian Nagelsmann: "It is not the worst thing for us that Mbappé and Neymar cannot play. They are outstanding players, and Paris are stronger with them than without them. But we would also be better if all of our players were fit."

Thomas Tuchel: "The game will be totally different from the semi-final. If you compare the 11 players with those we had in the semi-final, it cannot be the same match. We controlled the pace of the game in Portugal, I think Leipzig will defend higher on the pitch because they are at home."
