Now, let's talk injuries. Every team deals with them, but PSG is facing a few headaches. Key players like Ousmane Dembele, Fabian Ruiz, and Senny Mayulu are nursing injuries. Despite these setbacks, the Parisian squad remains optimistic. All eyes will be on goalkeeper Safonov, expected to be a rock in defense, and the dynamic attacking trio of Kvaratskhelia, Ramos, and Doue. If those three click, Monaco could be in for a long night.

Speaking of Monaco, their situation looks significantly more dire. They are wading through a veritable injury crisis. Several stars are sidelined, including Paul Pogba (still!), Lukas Hradecky, Eric Dier, and Takumi Minamino. To add insult to injury, Aleksandr Golovin is suspended after seeing red in the first leg. That’s a lot of talent sitting on the bench or, worse, not even available. You have to wonder how Monaco will cope with such a depleted roster.

So, when and where can you catch this crucial second leg? Mark your calendars for Wednesday, February 25, 2026, with kickoff scheduled for 11:00 PM local time. For our Turkish fans eager to see the action, you can tune in live on TRT Tabii Spor 1. Get your snacks ready; it's going to be a late one!

Let's take a look at the projected starting lineups. PSG is expected to field: Safonov in goal; a defensive line of Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, and Mendes; Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, and Neves in midfield; and the attacking trio of Doue, Ramos, and Kvaratskhelia. Monaco, on the other hand, is likely to start with Kohn between the posts; Vanderson, Teze, Kehrer, and Henrique in defense; Camara and Zakaria anchoring the midfield; and Coulibaly, Fati, and Adingra supporting Balogun up front.

Honestly, judging from these lineups and the injury situation, PSG seems heavily favored. However, you can never count out a team with their backs against the wall. Monaco needs a miracle, but stranger things have happened in the Champions League. This promises to be a captivating encounter. I, for one, will be watching to see if Monaco can pull off the upset, or if PSG will cruise to victory.
