Kylian Mbappé will be suiting up among Paris Saint-Germain starting XI, as PSG takes on RB Leipzig in the UEFA Champions League semifinal.

The final team sheets were released less than an hour prior to the awaited clash, as Mbappé is taking his usual spot next to Neymar and Angel Di Maria against a surprising Leipzig squad that has been the talk of the tournament.

The young French international played a mere 30 minutes against Atalanta in the quarterfinals, but he proved crucial in his side's 2-1 win, providing much needed support for Neymar and a pace that ultimately lead to the winning goal in injury time.

PSG manager Thomas Tuchel had hinted at his prized star being able to start, though he expressed some doubts about whether he could play the entire 90 minutes after a short recovery from an ankle injury in the French Cup Final.

Kylian Mbappé's link-up play with Neymar is the secret sauce to this PSG squad that has never made it this far in the competition. Fellow French side Lyon will be taking on Bundesliga champion Bayern Munich after the latter dispatched Barcelona 8-2 in the quarterfinal on Friday.

A win Tuesday would cement PSG into its biggest game yet, playing in the final with the chance to add a piece of hardware they have long wanted since Qatar Sports Investments bought the vast majority of the club's shares.

That has been followed with big-name signings like Neymar in 2017 and Kylian Mbappé in 2018 — spending more in the aforementioned than Atalanta had spent in the last 19 years.
