I think you'll win and knock them out tbh, plainly and simply because you are better than them. Maybe with Neymar they'd be slight favs but i'd rather have your team especially the form pogba, rashford and martial are in.

You are brave to say that. I actually think that their real danger man is Mbappe. Got to keep him quiet. And i think that it'll be a closer game.

He's a lot better when Neymar plays though because Neymar gives him so much space to get into and run behind and takes 2-3 defenders out the game, without Neymar he's still a danger but he's not as big a danger and we all know how $hit cavani usually is on the big stage anyway

Just don't think they're good enough defensively to contain martial, rashford and pogba. Think you'll win 3-1 tuesday then a 2-2 draw in the reverse

Pretty strange of PSG to even play him given they're 10 points clear.

The downside is that Veratti played an hour. Huge boost for them to have him back

Depends if we can keep up the tempo for a full 90 minutes or not, as we've had the tendency to tail off in games. Which is why i think it'll be a closer game.

Or we could sneak in a couple of goal gifts via their dodgy defence

I still think they are a danger in attack, which is why we must be alert defensively. If we concede a cheap goal i will be annoyed.

Without Neymar, and without a fully match fit Veratti, we've got a great chance.

I think we might see Herrera or Lingard asked to keep close to Veratti as a lot of the play will probably come through him.

I also think we need to go at the at 100mph. I watched them in Ligue 1 recently and the standard of opposition really isn't great at all. There should be an opportunity to unsettle them as they adjust to a higher standard of opponent away from home.

I think the result will depend on two people. Obviously Pogba and also Lingard.
Lingard has been looking a little leggy lately but his pressing from the front and ability to link the play will be crucial.

Also when people say they never like to see players injured they are talking b*llocks

Neymar being out is a blow for PSG, but Mbappe is the King of Paris and they still have Cavani, Di Maria and Draxler.

They’ll be too much for United I would think.

Don't think they want players to break legs, still good news though

Do you understand the words written in the article?

Thomas Tuchel: "There were many contingency plans - without Neymar, without Marco Verratti, and now without Edinson Cavani, we are no longer looking at Plan B, but Plan D.”

Could be mind games

Missing two of their three star strikers, likely to play Marquinhos in CM and a susceptible defence.

TBH, if we had the 2nd leg at home, I'd be very confident of progressing. However, with these ties, playing the deciding leg away makes it difficult to predict. Teams have come back from 3 or 4 goal deficits in the 2nd leg

It's better to have home leg 1st with PSG injuries. Away goals matter and a weakened PSG means we have a great chance. Obviously will be still tough. UEFA are looking at scrapping the away goals rule.

I hate people crowing about injuries. Cavani blows hot and cold. It also misses the point about PSG. They are less than the sum of their parts. They under achieve against proper opposition because however good on paper their forwards are they get poor service. Even with Cavani out, they still have great options.

You'll beat them as long as your defenders don't panic.

It's just sad for Neymar and Cavani if they have to miss out on playing on the biggest stage of all

I think they are better without Neymar. He distorts the shape of the whole team. Mbappe is the one to worry about if he's in the mood.
