Polish referee Szymon Marciniak will officiate the match, with Tomasz Kwiatkowski on VAR duty. Neither team has any Polish players.

PSG has two suspended players: defenders Willian Pacho and Lucas Hernandez. Real Madrid will be without center-back Dean Huijsen for the same reason.

En route to the semi-final, PSG defeated Inter Miami in the round of 16 and Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals. Real Madrid overcame Juventus and Dortmund. This semi-final clash between two of Europe's top teams is the most anticipated match of the tournament.
