Nuno Mendes - Logs full 90 in first leg Nuno Mendes logged the full 90 minutes in the first leg of the quarterfinals matchup against Barcelona on April 10. He finished with one shot, one chance created, four inaccurate c...

Impact Mendes had a rough time dealing with the pace of Lamine Yamal all game long, but he was able to hold the promising youngster off the scoresheet while also making his mark defensively. Mendes has made just six appearances (two starts) this season, and given he had a full to rest before the second leg of this tie, don't be surprised if Mendes starts at left-back once again Tuesday.

Bradley Barcola - Active in bench cameo vs. Barcelona Barcola played 45 minutes off the bench in the first leg of the quarterfinals against Barcelona on April 10. He tallied two shots (one on target), one chance created, three crosses...

Impact Barcola's pace was a problem at times for Barcelona's defensive line, but the winger struggled with the end product, so he didn't do much in the end as Barcelona stormed a second-half comeback to secure a 3-2 road win. Barcola should be available and could even start Tuesday in the second leg of this tie, as he's been in the XI in 13 of the last 16 PSG matches he's been available for between Ligue 1 and UCL.

Nordi Mukiele - Could feature Tuesday Mukiele (head) is an option for Tuesday's match against Barcelona after being listed to the traveling team.

Impact Mukiele looks to have overcome his head issues after going through concussion protocols, as he was named to the squad list for Tuesday. The defender will most likely return to the bench if selected for the team despite starting in his last appearance, as he has played in more of a reserve role this campaign, only seeing 15 appearances all season, with seven of those being starts.

Fabian Ruiz - Provides assist in loss Ruiz assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Wednesday's 3-2 defeat to Barcelona.

Impact Ruiz deftly supported the PSG attack from the midfield Wednesday, providing a second half assist as his side fell 2-3 to Barcelona. Ruiz's ability to impact PSG's fortunes have been limited during the 2023-2024 campaign due to injury.

Impact Vitinha scored early into the second half of PSG's 2-3 defeat Wednesday at the hands of Barcelona. The goal marked Vitinha's third successive appearance in which he's found the back of the net.

Ousmane Dembele - Breaks goal drought Dembele scored one goal to go with five shots (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Wednesday's 3-2 defeat versus Barcelona.

Impact Dembele scored his first goal sine mid-Nov., as PSG fell 2-3 to Barcelona on Wednesday in the first leg of their Champions League quarterfinal matchup. The goals was just Dembele's second for PSG since arriving prior to the campaign from Barcelona. However, Demeble's nine assists in all competitions are more indicative of his imprint upon the PSG attack this season. The nine assists equal Dembele's total in all competitions from the 2022-2023 campaign and lag slightly behind his career best of 13 assists in all competitions during the 2021-2022 campaign.

Gianluigi Donnarumma - Concedes three in loss Donnarumma registered three saves and allowed three goals in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to Barcelona.

Impact Donnarumma saved as many of Barcelona's six shots on target as he allowed to find the back of the net during PSG's 2-3 defeat to Wednesday. Over his last five appearances in all competitions, Donnarumma has made 29 saves and allowed six goals en route to recording two clean sheets. Overall, Donnarumma has had a successful third season in the French capital. He's secured 13 clean sheets in all competitions, equaling his total from the previous campaign and just one shy of his career best of 14 clean sheets in 2020, his last season with AC Milan. PSG and Donnarumma will look to turn the tide of this Champions League quarterfinal tie as they'll return home for the reverse fixture versus Barcelona next Tuesday.

Bradley Barcola - Returns to bench spot Barcola (hamstring) is on the bench for Wednesday's match against PSG.

Impact Barcola is making his return Wednesday, which should come as no surprise, as the attacker was training this week and expected to return following a two-match spell on the bench due to a hamstring issue. He will now hope to get into the starting XI in the club's next contest, as he did start in 12 of his last 14 appearances on the team sheet.

Bradley Barcola - Option against Barcelona Barcola (hamstring) appears to be an option for Wednesday's match against Barcelona, as manager Luis Enrique told reporters, "Bradley was able to train with everyone today."

Impact Barcola has been in team training over the past week, leading to his likely arrival on the team sheet Wednesday. This comes after the attacker had missed the club's past two matches due to a hamstring issue and appears to have overcome those issues this week. The only question will be where the player lines up, as he could get the start after starting in six of his past seven matches, although he may be left on the bench, with Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele containing as the starters on the flanks of the attack.

Nordi Mukiele - Still in concussion protocol Mukiele (head) will not be an option for Wednesday's match against Barcelona as he continues the concussion recovery protocol, according to the club.

Impact Mukiele will not be an option after his scary head collision Saturday, as he remains in concussion protocol, leaving him out for Wednesday's contest. This comes despite the player's obvious frustration when being taken off the field Saturday, appearing to possibly feel the repercussions of his injury now more than he did at the moment. He will now hope to complete this process by the end of the week, looking to be an option for the second leg of their tilt with Barcelona on April 16.

Lucas Hernandez - Set for suspension Hernandez will not be an option for the April 21 match against Lyon due to suspension.

Impact Hernandez will not be eligible for the club's next match in league play, as he has picked up a suspension due to yellow card accumulation.
