Paris Saint-Germain enter Tuesday night bolstered by a spirited 3–1 away victory over RC Strasbourg Alsace in Ligue 1 on Saturday, October 17. After trailing 1–0 at half-time, Luis Enrique’s side mounted a second-half resurgence powered by goals from Illia Zabarnyi (77'), Ousmane Dembélé (85'), and Désiré Doué (90+3').
