- Luis Enrique called Chevalier “one of the best options” and praised his mentality under intense scrutiny.
- Gianluigi Donnarumma left for Manchester City after helping PSG win last season’s European Cup following sustained criticism in Paris.
- PSG travel to Germany on six points from two Champions League wins and currently sit third in the league-phase standings behind Manchester City and Real Madrid.
- Ousmane Dembele is available again, while Leverkusen are now led by Kasper Hjulmand with a heavily changed squad that Enrique says is difficult to anticipate.
