Madrid-PSG team news: Isco, Kimpembe in - Bale, Silva out
Unai Emery has caused a shock by leaving captain Thiago Silva out of the Paris Saint-Germain side at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Paris Saint-Germain captain Thiago Silva has been dropped for the Champions League last-16 first leg with Real Madrid on Tuesday.
Head coach Unai Emery has made the shock decision to start youngster Presnel Kimpembe alongside Marquinhos at the heart of his defence, with Silva among the substitutes.
It was reported in France early on Tuesday that Silva, 33, had been left stunned by the decision, although he was also left on the bench for the 1-0 Ligue 1 win at Toulouse last Saturday.
Kimpembe partnered Marquinhos for the 4-0 first-leg win over Barcelona at this stage last season, while Silva was recalled for the return leg at Camp Nou, which PSG dramatically lost 6-1.
