Bayer Leverkusen face a tough test on Tuesday night as they welcome defending champions PSG to the BayArena. The Germans are unbeaten in seven games under new boss Kasper Hjulmand, but they’re still chasing their first Champions League win of the campaign. PSG, meanwhile, arrive with European momentum but domestic frustration, having slipped to second in Ligue 1 after drawing 3-3 to Strasbourg last Friday.
