Both Yuri and Lo Celso have started to work their way into the PSG set-up in recent weeks, but it is still a huge surprise to see them both start, particularly the latter over Lassana Diarra.
The PSG attack is as expected whilst Presnel Kimpembe starts next to Marquinhos as Thiago Silva yet again misses a key match.
Real manager Zinedine Zidane appears to have moved to a diamond with Isco at the tip behind Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo as Bale drops to the bench.
