On Wednesday, PSG and Bayern Munich face off on as Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and company have their backs against the wall, looking to overcome a 1-0 deficit ...

Match prediction: Already having the lead coming into the second leg, Benfica will be able to take things at their pace passing their way to another 2-0 victory to echo the opening leg. Man of the Match pick: Rafael Leao - There are a lot of rumors about his potential Premier League move in the future and this is a great opportunity for him to shine on such a big stage. Only facing four shots on target during the opening leg in Belgium, he'll have more to do during an away trip in Libson. Dortmund tend to share the goals around, their scorer could be anyone but with four in his last five Bundesliga games Julian Brandt seems a tempting choice. This is going to be a big chance for him and Spurs will rely a lot on their club's top scorer against the Italian side. Antonio Conte's side need to score if they want to have chances to go to the next round but will also likely expose themselves defensively. Reus' own fitness is often fleeting but when he is available he tends to be worth the wait and has provided two goals and three assists. Antonio Conte's side are coming from a heavy defeat away against Wolves and need to react in the Champions League's second leg this Wednesday. Most likely to score a goal: Mbappe -- The opening leg only really came to life when Mbappe came on and his introduction transformed PSG. Fikayo Tomori – Tottenham will definitely need to score soon during the match if they want to have chances to make it to the quarter finals of this season. The only concern over Mendes might be his ability to go the full 90 and potentially beyond given his recent knock against Lille. The first leg was all about Mbappe and he only came on as a second half substitute before ripping into Bayern with the help of Nuno Mendes.

Bayern deserved to win in Paris, but they'll remember how the momentum completely shifted after Kylian Mbappe entered midway through the second half.

UEFA will cover more than 19000 tickets after an independent inquiry determined a crush of fans could have led to disaster.

[said in a statement](https://thefsa.org.uk/news/uefa-announces-plan-to-refund-liverpool-fans-caught-up-in-final-chaos/) that UEFA’s decision is “both unprecedented and hugely welcome, and builds concretely on the apology they extended to Liverpool fans earlier. The report from the independent inquiry was at odds with initial claims by UEFA and French authorities, who blamed ticketless fans for the crush. Finally, UEFA will offer refunds to all fans who purchased accessibility tickets along with those of their accompanying persons.” “We have taken into account a huge number of views expressed both publicly and privately and we believe we have devised a scheme that is comprehensive and fair,” UEFA General Secretary Theodore Theodoridis said in the statement. “We value the input from the Liverpool FC supporter organizations Spirit of Shankly and Liverpool Disabled Supporters Association as well as the open and transparent dialogue throughout this period. Many gave up trying to enter the stadium as the chaos and crush of fans intensified.

Refunds will also be paid out to Real Madrid supporters and neutral fans who meet certain criteria set out by UEFA, the Union of European Football Associations.

An apology to Liverpool supporters for “the experiences of many of them” and the unjust blaming was made last month by Theodoridis. UEFA statements during the chaos and after the game wrongly blamed Liverpool fans for arriving at the stadium late and using fake tickets to try to gain entry. “We recognise the negative experiences of those supporters on the day and with this scheme we will refund fans who had bought tickets and who were the most affected by the difficulties in accessing the stadium.”
