Previous meetings • Thomas Tuchel's side were comfortable winners against Leipzig at the Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica on 18 August. An early Marquinhos goal (13) was added to by Di María three minutes before the break, Juan Bernat ending any lingering hopes for Julian Nagelsmann's Leipzig with a third goal 12 minutes into the second half. • While that was the teams' first competitive fixture, Leipzig defeated Paris 4-2 in a July 2014 friendly when they were in the German second tier. Paris defender Marquinhos scored an own goal with Yussuf Poulsen also on target for Leipzig. Form guide Paris • Tuchel's team have lost two of their three games in this season's competition 2-1, going down at home to Manchester United on Matchday 1 and at Leipzig either side of a 2-0 victory away to İstanbul Başakşehir. • Ligue 1 champions for the seventh time in eight years in 2019/20, and ninth time overall, Paris also won both domestic cups last season. This is the French side's ninth successive UEFA Champions League campaign and 13th in total. • Paris reached their first European Cup final last season, only to lose 1-0 to Bayern München in Lisbon. They had beaten Borussia Dortmund in the round of 16 (1-2 a, 2-0 h), Atalanta in the one-off quarter-final (2-1) and Leipzig in the semi-final en route to the decider. • The Parisians have reached the knockout stages on their last eight UEFA Champions League appearances, although 2019/20 marked their first semi-final appearance since 1995. They suffered three successive last-16 defeats prior to last season. • Tuchel's side finished first in a section also including Real Madrid, Club Brugge and Galatasaray in 2019/20. They won five of their six games, drawing the other, and conceded only two goals to finish five points above Madrid. • Paris had scored in 34 successive UEFA Champions League games, matching the competition record set by Madrid between 2011 and 2014, before drawing a blank in last season's final. • Paris have won 13 of their last 21 UEFA Champions League matches (D3 L5). The Matchday 1 defeat by United was only their fourth in their last 56 European home games (W36 D16). • That loss to United also ended Paris's 24-match unbeaten run in the UEFA Champions League group stage at the Parc des Princes (W19 D5), since a December 2004 reversal against CSKA Moskva (1-3). Their home group record since the start of the 2017/18 campaign is now W8 D1 L1. • Paris faced three German clubs in 2019/20. The 2-0 win against Dortmund in the last 16 second leg extended the French side's record of never having lost at home to German visitors (W7 D1). • A 3-1 defeat at Bayern on Matchday 6 of the 2017/18 UEFA Champions League ended Paris's seven-match unbeaten run against German clubs, home and away (W5 D2). Their overall record since then is W2 L3. Leipzig • Leipzig have won both home games in the 2020/21 UEFA Champions League, defeating İstanbul Başakşehir 2-0 before beating Paris. In between, however, they went down 5-0 at Manchester United – their heaviest European defeat. • This is Leipzig's third UEFA Champions League group campaign, all in the last four seasons, and their fourth foray into European football overall.
