Paris Saint-Germain vs Red Star Belgrade Preview
After losing their opening match 3-2 to Liverpool, Paris Saint-Germain looks to get back to their winning ways against Red Star Belgrade.

With Kylian Mbappe and Edinson Cavani on the team, Neymar has been able to rack seven of the 27 goals scored so far. Nevertheless, Mbappe and Cavani have contended with five a piece.
