Although, the PSG manager Thomas Tuchel has indicated that Mbappe is able to be involved from the bench.

Thomas Tuchel on Mbappe told reporters:

“If he has a good training session today and nothing extraordinary happens, he will be with the team tomorrow.

“We are very happy that he is with the group and that we can have the possibility of finishing the match with him.”

Neymar would be under immense pressure after Mbappe missing from the starting XI to claim their first Champions League title. However, Tuchel believes the Brazilian is used to the pressure.

“I have the impression that there is always a lot of pressure on him, but he likes it. He is used to playing with this pressure.

“We are very happy that Kylian is also with the group and that we can have the possibility to finish the match with him, because the two like to play together. Neymar is decisive on the big matches and I am convinced that he can be the key man for us. He has the necessary quality for this kind of situation.” – Tuchel on Neymar.

Paris Saint-Germain will take on Atalanta tomorrow 12:30 AM Indian Standard Time.
