Paris Saint-Germain’s UEFA Champions League match against Borussia Dortmund at the Parc des Princes will be played behind closed doors but that hasn’t stopped supporters from having an impact on the match.
When the PSG team bus arrived at the stadium, hundreds of Ultras lit up the sky with flares and welcomed the players in a scene that has to be seen to be believed.
Earlier today, Twitter user @MariusCassoly posted images on Twitter of banners that had been hung inside the Parc.
The banners read, “Play like warriors,” “Qualify Us,” and “Mbappé > Haaland.”

That last one is a direct shot at Dortmund’s star striker, Erling Haaland. The 19-year-old scored a brace in the first leg to give Dortmund the 2-1 victory and if PSG are to win tonight, it will largely depend on whether they can silence him for 90 minutes.
Mbappé will have to wait for his chance as he starts on the bench after missing the last two days of training due to illness.
