PSG hosts Slovan Bratislava in UEFA Champions League opening match

Defending champions PSG begin their UEFA Champions League campaign on Wednesday at the Parc des Princes, facing Slovakian side Slovan Bratislava. Kick-off for the European fixture is scheduled for 8pm BST. PSG enters the match looking to shift focus from a difficult domestic start that has left the club winless in three Ligue 1 fixtures. Manager Luis Enrique welcomes left-back Nuno Mendes back to the starting lineup following a domestic suspension, though goalkeeper Alessandro Longoni remains sidelined due to a thigh injury. Conversely, Slovan Bratislava arrives in Paris with a fully fit squad, marking a historic milestone as Yaya Touré becomes the first African manager to lead a team in the competition. The visitors aim to utilize a tactical, counter-attacking setup led by winger Tigran Barseghyan to challenge the French side.
