Pre-Match Tactical Narrative
Leverkusen will aim to start aggressively at home, using Wirtz’s creativity and Hofmann’s movement to disrupt PSG’s structure. Alonso may press higher up the pitch to force turnovers, but that could leave space behind for Mbappé and Dembélé to exploit.
PSG, on the other hand, are likely to control the tempo, circulate possession, and attack through overloads on the flanks. With Hakimi and Nuno Mendes pushing forward, PSG’s width could prove decisive. Expect Enrique’s men to absorb early pressure before asserting dominance as the match progresses.
Key Players to Watch – Leverkusen vs PSG
Leverkusen – Álex Grimaldo
The Spanish full-back has been one of Leverkusen’s most influential players this season. His attacking instincts, vision, and set-piece accuracy make him a dual threat — both as a creator and goal scorer. Against PSG, his defensive discipline and positioning will also be tested.
- Key Strengths: Crossing, free-kicks, attacking positioning
- Recent Stats: 3 goals, 4 assists in last 6 matches
Paris Saint-Germain – Ousmane Dembélé
The French winger is enjoying one of his best spells in recent years. His ability to beat defenders, deliver pinpoint crosses, and link up with teammates like Hakimi and Vitinha makes him PSG’s most unpredictable weapon. Dembélé’s pace will be vital to breaking through Leverkusen’s organized backline.
- Key Strengths: Dribbling, acceleration, creativity
- Recent Stats: 4 assists, 2 goals in his last 5 matches
