PARIS — Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique selected Lucas Beraldo in central defense against Borussia Dortmund for the second leg of their Champions League semifinal. The 20-year-old Brazilian lacks experience at the highest level but was chosen ahead of former Inter Milan defender Milan Skriniar and Danilo. They were both on the bench as PSG looked to overturn a 1-0 deficit from the first leg. Beraldo replaces France defender Lucas Hernandez who tore an ACL last week. Kylian Mbappé is on the left of PSG's attack with Gonçalo Ramos at center forward and Ousmane Dembelé.
