This will be the first time in their long careers that brothers Theo and Lucas Hernandez face off as opponents when Milan visit PSG and their mother has only one wish. ‘I hope neither of them get hurt.’
It kicks off at Parc des Princes at 20.00 UK time (19.00 GMT) in the Champions League group stage.
Although they have been teammates before for the France national team, and Theo replaced Lucas when he was injured at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the two brothers have never played as opponents before.
This event will also take place in their home town of Paris, so their family will be in the stands, albeit with divided loyalties.
Their mother was interviewed by L’Equipe and asked to give her wish for tonight’s match.
“It will be the first time in Paris, and in the Champions League too. I am always stressed when I watch them play for France. As always, I just hope neither of them get hurt.”
It is unusual that it has taken so long for these siblings to face off, considering they did play in LaLiga at the same time, when Lucas was with Atletico Madrid while Theo represented Deportivo Alaves, Real Madrid and Real Sociedad.
