PRVWTeams in the tunnel.

PRVWIn March 2009, Gulacsi had just lost 3-0 away to Swindon for Hereford United. Now he is playing in the Champions League semi-final.
-
PRVWThis is the furthest that PSG have got since 1994-95 when they lost in the semi-final to Milan.
-
PRVWPSG did have some famous names that season: Sakho and Makélélé played for them.
-
PRVWThese two sides are an example of what a side with money can do. 10 years ago RB Leipzig had just won the German fifth division while PSG had just come 13th in Ligue 1. Fast forward 10 years and they are playing each other in the Champions League semi-final.
-
PRVWPSG XI: Rico; Kehrer, Kimpembe, Silva, Bernat; Marquinhos, Paredes, Herrera; Neymar; Di Maria, Mbappé.
-
PRVWRB Leipzig XI: Gulacsi; Mukiele, Upamecano, Klostermann; Lalmer, Sabitzer, Kampl, Angelino; Nkunku, Poulsen, Olmo.
