Paris big favorite against Maccabi?
PSG have won only one of their last 5 games against Israeli teams in European competition (1 draw, 3 losses), but have not met an opponent from this country in C1/C2/C3/C4 since November 2006 (4-2 defeat against Hapoel Tel-Aviv in the UEFA Cup).
Maccabi Haifa have lost each of their last 7 Champions League meetings while remaining silent each time.
The official compositions have fallen, the tenure of Mukiele confirmed
Maccabi Haifa: Cohen – Sundgren, Batubinsika, Goldberg, Cornud – Chery, N. Lavi, Abu Fani – Atzili, Pierrot, Haziza.
Subs: Mishpati, Mohamed, Tchibota, Menachem, Rukavytsya, Arad, David, Meir, Seck, M. Levi, Eliyahu, Gershon.
PSG: Donnarumma – Ramos, Marquinhos, Danilo – Mukiele, Verratti, Vitinha, Mendes – Messi, Mbappé, Neymar.
Replacements: Rico, Letellier, Hakimi, Ruiz, Bernat, Sarabia, Soler, Bitshiabu, Zaire-Emery, Ekitike.
PSG: Hakimi will be well on the bench, Mukiele will start
As reported earlier on Wednesday, a change will take place on the right flank of the PSG defense this Wednesday at Maccabi Haifa. Nordi Mukiele will start, while Achraf Hakimi will be placed on the substitutes’ bench.

Young Parisians enjoy the Youth League
All is well for PSG in the Youth League. After a 5-3 victory in the match against Juve, the Parisians won 5-0 this Wednesday against Maccabi Haifa. The goals are signed Lemina (14th and 60th), Gharbi (15th and 50th) and Housni (65th).
The probable line-up of PSG
Nordi Mukiele is expected to start the game, as is Nuno Mendes. The two players would thus replace Juan Bernat and Achraf Hakimi, who had started against Brest. In front, we should find the Messi-Mbappé-Neymar trio. In the absence of Kimpembe, Danilo is favorite to complete the Parisian three-man defense (he played on Saturday, Marquinhos was then on the bench).
Donnarumma – Danilo, Marquinhos, Ramos – Mendes, Vitinha, Verratti, Mukiele – Messi, Mbappé, Neymar.

Galtier highlights Neymar’s awareness
On the eve of the trip to Israel, to challenge Maccabi Haifa in the Champions League (9 p.m. on RMC Sport 1), Christophe Galtier was delighted with the dazzling form of Neymar since the start of the season.
“I think he had an awareness compared to last season, when he was less efficient and less present, observes Galtier. He has very high objectives. He arrived on time at the start, fit, very fit, being prepared. I think he worked well before.”
