GOOOL OF ÁNGEL DI MARÍA! RB Leipzig 0-2 PSG. The German team becomes the harakiri trying to get the ball played with the goalkeeper through the center, the French team recovers, which quickly sends the ball to the area for Neymar's heel and the arrival of the Rosario, who beats the Magyar goalkeeper.
Five minutes to go to the end of the first half and PSG dominates the game, not with an iron fist, because RB Leipzig enjoys some offensive outbursts, but it does keep both its own area and a greater presence in the rival area.
AGAIN! AGAIN! NEYMAR AGAIN! Direct free kick kicked off by Mogi das Cruzes, fooling everyone, who was expecting a cross into the area, and the ball again ran into the strain of the goalpost defended by the Magyar Péter Gulácsi. MAGICAL NEYMAR!
PSG is too calm after the goal of today's midfielder Marquinhos. He cannot overcome the medullary line imposed by Julian Nagelsmann and take the ball to the offensive part where Neymar and Mbappé await, authentic dynamite.
The first time that Spaniard Dani Olmo participated in an attacking play by the German team and the best chance for the energetic team in the match. The former Dinamo Zagreb player has become one of the best signings in the already distant winter market.
ABOUT TO MARK THE RED BULL! Fantastic filtered pass by Dani Olmo for the arrival by Konrad Laimer's right side and his death pass was finished off at the first touch by Yussuf Poulsen but the ball crashed into the side of the net. FORGIVE THE RB!
ANOTHER ATTEMPT BY SABITZER! The Austrian midfielder takes a direct free-kick with danger but his attempt hits the barrier and goes to a corner kick. The former Rapid Vienna is emerging as the most dangerous player of the German team in this first semifinal.
In this new scenario presented in the match, PSG feel much more comfortable than RB Leipzig. Thomas Tuchel's team is preparing to counterattack with danger with the great quality of their attacking players.
The German team tries to rebuild itself by returning dangerous centers to the area but, for now, the French team is convincing in defense. And in attack. Four shots, two on goal, one goal in the first 15 minutes of the game.
Ángel Di María has achieved his fifth assist in this edition of the Champions League, equaling Kylian Mbappé and Robert Lewandowski as the best assistants in the competition.
MARQUINHOS GOOOOL! RB Leipzig 0-1 PSG. With music, a center is taken to the Angel Di María area from the left side of the pitch and an unappealable header from today's Brazilian midfielder who puts the first goal on the scoreboard.
SABITZER TRIES IT! The Austrian midfielder gathers up his courage and takes a shot at the half-turn from about 35 meters that easily catches a perfectly placed Sergio Rico. RB Lepizig is not daunted by the offensive power of the French team.
TO THE PALO! TO THE PALO! TO THE PALO NEYMAR JR! Mbappé's filtered pass into the gap in the direction of the Brazilian star who with a subtle touch surpasses the Hungarian goalkeeper of RB Leipzig but the ball crashes into the post strain.
Up to two occasions so far, RB Leipzig has sent the ball to the rival area although on both occasions the Parisian defense has shown its forcefulness. Vital in this role is that of the French captain, the Brazilian Thiago Silva.
First bars and both tactical drawings are already in sight. PSG is planted with two lines of three, with a Di María that starts from the left side with a changed leg, although he will surely deploy his electric route helping in the spinal cord.
START THE SHOCK! The French team puts the ball into play. The captains of both teams are the Danish Yussuf Poulsen on the Teutonic side and the Brazilian Thiago Silva on the Parisian side. The referee is the Dutch Björn Kuipers.
THE 22 LEADING PLAYERS ARE NOW! RB Lepizig comes out with their gala kit, white shirt and energetic red, while PSG wears their gala outfit, completely ebony blue. Great game at Estádio da Luz!
At 33, RB Leipzig manager Julian Nagelsmann may become the youngest coach to reach a Champions League final, breaking Didier Deschamps' record of 35 with Monaco in 2004. The future of football European is here.
BRAZILIAN MAGIC. Since his debut in the competition in 2013/14, PSG player Neymar has provided more assists in the Champions League than any other player (23), including assisting in the tying goal against Atalanta in the quarter-finals. The participation of the Brazilian is crucial.
Paris Saint-Germain have scored in each of their last 33 Champions League games, just one less than the all-time record in a major European competition (Real Madrid, 34 between 2011 and 2014). The last rival to prevent the Parisians from scoring a goal was Man City in April 2016 (0-1) when they were eliminated in the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
GALO DREAM. Paris Saint-Germain has reached the semi-finals of the Champions League for the first time since the 1994/95 edition when they were eliminated in two games against AC Milan (0-3 on aggregate). Only one of the previous seven French teams that reached the CL semi-finals made it to the final (Monaco in 2003/04).
Both RB Leipzig and Paris SG are looking to reach their first European Cup / Champions League final. RB Leipzig would be the seventh different German team to reach the final (a figure only surpassed by English teams) while PSG would be the first French team to play the final since AS Monaco on 03/04.
WITH SERGIO RICO. The Spanish goalkeeper will be in charge of replacing Keylor Navas in the Parisian goal, one of the four novelties introduced by Tuchel regarding the agonizing victory against Atalanta together with Leandro Paredes, Ángel Di María and, above all, KYLIAN MBAPPÉ.
Shift to Paris SG. Thomas Tuchel opts for his 4-3-3 classic with Sergio Rico, Thilo Kehrer, Thiago Silva, Presnel Kimpembe, Juan Bernat, Ander Herrera, Marquinhos, Leandro Paredes, Ángel Di María, Kylian Mbappé and Neymar Jr.
WITH DEFENSE OF THREE. The German coach prefers to reinforce his bands with two lanes and opt for defense of three centrals to try to mitigate the offensive power of PSG. The only novelty regarding the victory against Atlético, the entry of Nordi Mukiele.
Let's go with the lineups. Julian Nagelsmann comes out with a 3-4-3 formed by Péter Gulácsi, Lukas Klostermann, Dayot Upamecano, Nordi Mukiele, Konrad Laimer, Kevin Kampl, Marcel Sabitzer, Angeliño, Dani Olmo, Yussuf Poulsen and Christopher Nkunku.
GOOD AFTERNOON! Welcome to the first semi-final of the 19/20 Champions League. Julian Nagelsmann's surprising RB Leipzig takes on the almighty Thomas Tuchel's PSG. P A R T I D A Z O!
