Both Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain named unchanged line-ups ahead of Wednesday's semifinal first leg clash in Germany.

PSG coach Luis Enrique stuck with the side which won away at Barcelona to reach the final four, opting to keep Bradley Barcola in a front three featuring Kylian Mbappe and former Dortmund forward Ousmane Dembele.

Borussia Dortmund coach Edin Terzic also stuck with the same starting XI from the side which beat Atletico Madrid 4-2 in the quarterfinals.

Marcel Sabitzer missed Saturday's 4-1 thumping at the hands of RB Leipzig but returns to take his spot in midfield.

Sebastien Haller, who scored in the first leg in Madrid, returns from injury, as does Donyell Malen with both taking a spot on the bench.

This will be the third meeting between the sides in this season's Champions League, with both meeting in the group stages.

Paris took the first match at home with a 2-0 win in September, while Dortmund drew the second leg 1-1 to go through as winners of a group also featuring AC Milan and Newcastle.
