The two clubs have yet to reach a Champions League final in their respective histories but will do just that with victory in Portugal.

Goals from Dani Olmo and Tyler Adams guided Die Roten Bullen to a famous win 2-1 over Atletico Madrid and took them to within a victory of a first UEFA Champions League final in only their 11th year of existence.
 
Leipzig are without top scorer Timo Werner following his move to Chelsea, but that hasn't derailed the German Bundesliga club who are brilliantly coached by 33-year-old Julian Nagelsmann.

Standing in their way is a determined PSG outfit who have spent millions over the last few years to get into the position they currently find themselves in: one game away from the biggest game in club football. 
 
The French champions booked their place in the last four with a 2-1 win over Atalanta. PSG trailed for most of the clash but late goals from Marquinhos and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting guided the club to victory.
 
Leipzig would be the seventh different German side to reach the final in Europe's premier club competition while PSG are aiming to become the first French team since Monaco in 2003/04 to reach the showpiece event.
