RB Leipzig are taking on Paris Saint-Germain tonight for a place in the Champions League final.
Leipzig knocked out Atletico Madrid in the quarter-finals and will fancy their chances of pulling off another shock result in Lisbon. But they face a PSG side full of attacking firepower with Neymar and Kylian Mbappe both fit to start and a plethora of expensive talent around them, making PSG the favourites to reach Sunday’s final where the winner will play either Bayern Munich or Lyon.
We’ll have all the latest updates and analysis from Lisbon throughout the evening:
82 min: Two last-ditch blocks, one from Silva and the other from Kehrer, deny Leipzig a goal back as the ball breaks free in the box.

81 min: Neymar tries to feed Mbappe with a clever outside-of-the-foot pass. Klostermann reads it, but hits the ball against the Frenchman and the deflection nearly deceives Gulasci.
80 min: Neymar lays the ball off for Di Maria from the free kick, and the Argentine curls the ball towards the far post. It's parried by Gulasci, who has to pick himself back up in time to stop a ferocious drive from Paredes.

77 min: Mbappe and Neymar break away and find themselves in a two-on-two situation. The former's pass is poor, though, and Neymar falls over in his attempt to control it.
76 min: Angelino lets fly from the edge of the box and Rico saves, slightly unconvincingly, though the swerve on the ball makes it difficult.
75 min: Upamecano has a go from distance but his shot is charged down. Kimpembe, moments later, makes an important sliding challenge in the box to deny Poulsen.
72 min: Another chance for Mbappe, who gets in behind and is denied by the right arm of Gulasci. The goalkeeper is then called into action again to hold a low shot from Paredes.
70 min: Close! Mbappe almost add his name to the scoresheet. Di Maria picks him out with an excellent curling cross, and the France international can only glance his header just wide.
69 min: Leipzig are certainly missing Timo Werner in attack. They've been pretty impotent when they've got into the final third tonight, and it's been too comfortable for a confident PSG side.

65 min: Sabitzer collects the ball on the edge of the box and lashes a shot over.
63 min: Di Maria races away through the middle and almost plays in Mbappe. Kimpembe is back on the pitch after recovering from that Laimer tackle.

60 min: Leipzig's promising start to the second half has been undone now. PSG's quality, with Di Maria and Mbappe back in the side, is really shining through.

55 min: Leipzig deal with the Di Maria set piece this time. It's imperative that they don't concede again as they look to spark a comeback.
