RB Leipzig-PSG Combined XI | UEFA Champions League 2020-21

Central midfielder: Marquinhos (PSG)

Marquinhos has taken to his captaincy duties at PSG with aplomb.

After the departure of Thiago Silva, the PSG captain's armband was transferred to Marquinhos, who has led by example with his leadership qualities.

A centre-back by trade, Marquinhos was moved to central midfield by Tuchel last season, where he has excelled with his passing range, technical abilities and elegance on the ball.

Central midfielder: Marcel Sabitzer (RB Leipzig)

Marcel Sabitzer is not just a deep-lying playmaker; he can also score goals from range.

Even though he's been around for a long time, Marcel Sabitzer truly shot himself to stardom last season courtesy his performances with Leipzig in the Champions League.

He scored a brilliant goal against Zenit St.Petersburg and was also key in the comprehensive win over Tottenham Hotspur. A goalscoring midfielder with impressive set-piece prowess, the Austrian has had a career out of swinging inch-perfect deliveries.

Attacking midfielder: Daniel Olmo (RB Leipzig)

Daniel Olmo has impressed since arriving in Saxony at the start of the year.

Another young Spaniard who has quickly risen to the fore, Daneil Olmo signed for Leipzig in January from Dinamo Zagreb and has proved to be a bang for the buck ever since.

Olmo, whose creative ability has helped attacking stars ahead of him flourish, works really hard off the ball too. A graduate of Barcelona's famed La Masia academy, the 21-year old has four assists to his name this season and could give PSG's defence a serious run for its money.
