Warren Zaire-Emery became the youngest player ever to appear in 15 games in the UEFA Champions League, creating a new record. In the meantime, Donnarumma made a comeback for PSG in goal after Safanov took his place over the weekend. However, due to injuries, the hosts were still without players like Lucas Hernandez, Presnel Kimpembe, and Goncalo Ramos.
Julian Alvarez, who has contributed directly to 13 goals across 20 UEFA Champions League games, and Antoine Griezmann are leading Atletico's drive. However, Diego Simeone was forced to do without Marcos Llorente, Thomas Lemar, Cesar Azpilicueta, and Robin Le Normand.
PSG and Atletico Madrid struggle in the UEFA Champions League 2024/25
Before the match, PSG was in 19th place in the UEFA Champions League with four points from their three games thus far. But they might move up the standings considerably if they defeat Atletico Madrid. Their final four league stage games would be under pressure if they performed any worse.
Atletico Madrid has lost two of their three UEFA Champions League games and won just one so far. Prior to their match against PSG, Roje Blancos were in 27th spot in the UEFA Champions League. They'll be in serious trouble if they don't win their next games to earn points.
