Right Winger: Lionel Messi (PSG)

More Messi magic on Tuesday? He has never played against Leipzig before.

His time with PSG has hardly been perfect. But with a stunning effort against Manchester City, Lionel Messi provided a glimpse of his prowess. The former Barcelona ace also had a very productive international break, something that might help him to blossom at PSG.

He has never played against RB Leipzig before. So it's an opportunity for him to go one clear of Cristiano Ronaldo (36) for goals scored against the most number of different teams in the Champions League.


Attacking Midfielder: Christopher Nkunku (RB Leipzig)

Nkunku is enjoying his greatest spell in front of goal right now.

One of the biggest revelations of the 2021-22 season thus far, Christopher Nkunku is currently in the form of his life. He has scored nine goals and made four assists in all competitions for RB Leipzig, including a stunning hat-trick against Manchester City.

Tormenting opposition defences with his blistering pace and dribbling skills, he can also create danger with his accurate set-piece deliveries. Nkunku would be raring to get one back against his old club.


Left Winger: Dominik Szoboszlai (RB Leipzig)

Szoboszlai is widely hailed as Hungary's rising star.

RB Leipzig stunned the footballing world with the signing of Hungary's rising star Dominik Szoboszlai in the summer, doing so right under all the big clubs' noses. However, being a sister club to RB Salzburg also helped.

So far, the 20-year-old has impressed only in bits and parts, but has managed to rack up two goals and as many assists in seven league games for them.

An exceptional set-piece taker blessed with incredible speed and devastating finishing skills, Szoboszlai could wreak havoc if PSG don't keep him in check.


Striker: Kylian Mbappe (PSG)

Mbappe has returned to his best lately for club and country.

Kylian Mbappe had a rough patch of form on the club front before the international break. But his heroics with France in their Nations League success have restored his confidence.

With five goals and six assists in all competitions for PSG so far this season, the 22-year-old has had a good run. But he is yet to open his account in Europe this season. Mbappe will be eager to end that on Tuesday.
