Bayern Munich named Harry Kane, Michael Olise, and Luis Díaz in the attack front while Fabian Ruiz returned to the starting line-up for Paris Saint-Germain in Wednesday’s Champions League semi-final second leg.
Bayern’s first-choice attacking trio all scored in the first leg and will be joined by Jamal Musiala, who has returned to form after missing the first half of the season with a broken ankle.
The hosts made just one change to the team beaten 5-4 in Paris last week, bringing in Konrad Laimer at left-back in place of Alphonso Davies.
Ruiz makes his first European start for the defending champions since January. The Spaniard was named in midfield to replace Warren Zaire-Emery, who is filling in at right-back for the injured Achraf Hakimi.
Ruiz, who captained PSG in Saturday’s 2-2 draw against Lorient, is yet to play a full match since returning from a knee injury.
Starting line-ups:
Bayern Munich (4-2-3-1)
Manuel Neuer (capt); Josip Stanisic, Dayot Upamecano, Jonathan Tah, Konrad Laimer; Joshua Kimmich, Aleksandar Pavlovic; Michael Olise, Jamal Musiala, Luis Diaz; Harry Kane
