Football: Neymar needs team-mates for PSG to succeed - Tuchel

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) head coach Thomas Tuchel hinted that star forward Kylian Mbappe could start against RB Leipzig in their UEFA Champions League semi-final in Lisbon on Tuesday. Mbappe came on as a second-half substitute in PSG's 2-1 comeback victory over Atalanta in the last eight, having made a swift recovery from a sprained ankle and ligament damage last month. Neymar helped drive his team forward during that win and Tuchel talked up the Brazil international's leadership qualities and the "extraordinary mix" of his and Mbappe's talents. Tuchel faces a former colleague in RB Leipzig head coach Julian Nagelsmann, who he managed at Augsburg's reserve team before he gave Nagelsmann various coaching and scouting responsibilities as the 33-year-old suffered a knee injury which brought an end to his professional playing career. PSG midfielder Ander Herrera said they hope to realise their "dream" of reaching a first-ever Champions League final with victory over Leipzig.
