The lineups for the CL clash are here!

At 9 PM, title holders Paris Saint-Germain and FC Barcelona meet at the Parc des Princes for the absolute top match of the third matchday in the UEFA Champions League. To the LIVE ticker >>>

There's a big surprise in the lineups of both teams. Barca coach Hansi Flick surprisingly leaves out World Champion Rodri. The summer signing only sits on the bench and is replaced by youngster Marc Bernal.

Mendes Absent for PSG

Flick likely also has the workload in mind, as the big El Clasico against Real Madrid is coming up in the league this weekend. Otherwise, there are no surprises. Xavi Espart replaces the injured Joules Kounde.

At PSG, Luis Enrique has to do without left-back Nuno Mendes. The Portuguese is replaced by Lucas Hernandez.
