PSG XI vs Bayern Munich: Starting lineup, confirmed team news, injury latest for Champions League today

Paris Saint-Germain are without Achraf Hakimi as they travel to take on Bayern Munich in their Champions League semi-final second leg tonight.

A thrilling 5-4 win in the French capital last week came at a cost, with the influential Moroccan full-back picking up a hamstring injury which could sideline him for the remainder of the season.

Warren Zaire-Emery deputises as expected, moving back from the midfield role he took on for the first leg, which opens up a space for Fabian Ruiz to start in Bavaria after coming off the bench last week.

Bradley Barcola has to again settle for a place on the bench, after first-choice front three Desire Doue, Ousmane Dembele and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia each provided two attacking returns in the first leg.

The only other notable absentee is second-choice goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier, who has been sidelined for a few weeks after picking up a thigh injury during training last week. In any case, Matvey Safonov is the favoured choice between the posts for PSG.

Marquinhos, Kvaratskhelia and Dembele were all left on the bench at the weekend, while Ruiz was replaced by goalscorer Zaire-Emery and Joao Neves got half an hour, as PSG were held to a 2-2 draw by Lorient. Doue played 75 minutes ahead of a start on Wednesday.

PSG XI: Safonov, Zaire-Emery, Pacho, Marquinhos, Nuno Mendes, Fabian Ruiz, Vitinha, Joao Neves, Kvaratskhelia, Dembele, Doue

Subs: Vignaud, Laurendon, Marin, Zabarnyi, Hernandez, Beraldo, Lee, Mayulu, Dro, Mbaye, Barcola, Ramos

Injured: Hakimi, Chevalier

Time and date: 8pm BST on Wednesday May 6, 2026

Venue: Allianz Arena, Munich
