PSG, in fact, have another Italian player in their team: third-choice keeper Renato Marin.

The 19-year-old was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil, but holds an Italian passport and has made 12 appearances with the Italy U19 team.

A former Roma goalkeeper, Marin joined PSG on a free transfer from the Giallorossi last summer and has made two appearances at a senior level with the Ligue 1 giants this term.

Marin’s PSG will visit Bayern Munich in the second leg of the Champions League semis at the Allianz Arena in Munich tonight with the French side holding a 5-4 lead.
