Red Star Belgrade vs PSG: TV channel, live stream, squad news & preview

Paris Saint-Germain will secure their place in the last 16 of the Champions League with a win over Red Star Belgrade at the Marakana on Tuesday.

Group C has been tight throughout, but PSG have given themselves a springboard for qualification thanks to a 2-1 home victory over Liverpool.

Both Napoli and the Reds have failed to win in Serbia thus far, with Red Star yet to concede a single goal at home, but even a point could be enough for PSG, who beat Vladan Milojevic’s side 6-1 at Parc des Princes back in October.

The home side, meanwhile, have their own ambitions to finish third, but they need a win to stand any chance.

Match Preview


PSG Red Star UEFA Champions LeagueGetty

Paris Saint-Germain’s Champions League journey this season has been anything but serene. 

Defeat on the opening night against Liverpool and two draws against Napoli – one achieved thanks to a last-kick Angel Di Maria strike – left them playing catch up, yet a 2-1 success over the Reds a fortnight ago suddenly has them in a position of strength.

Red Star Belgrade and their red-hot atmosphere will not be a straightforward trip, but it is one they can make knowing that a point could well be enough.

Kylian Mbappe, who finished fourth in the Ballon d’Or voting last week, says the squad are braced for the welcome that awaits them and are feeling upbeat after their watershed success over Jurgen Klopp’s side.

“In our group there have been very hot atmospheres,” he said. “Tomorrow is a new experience, I have never been to Serbia at the professional level. We are coming for qualification, we will not have much time to watch the fans.

“There is a before and after Liverpool - we have done something beautiful, we have shown that we can respond to the intensity of a Champions League game. We'll have to do it again tomorrow night.

“It's up to us to step it up and show that we can play better than what we've shown so far.”

Red Star have their own ambitions, as the Europa League remains a possibility for them if they stun PSG and Liverpool lose at home to Napoli.

Given they have an undefeated record at the Marakana in Europe this season, it is not a scenario that should be lightly dismissed, despite their 6-1 loss in Paris in October, which is mired in accusations of match-fixing that the Serbians have vehemently rejected.
