    Angel di Maria lines a 25-yard shot up - but it's straight at Diaranke Fofana. Now Adrien Rabiot fires one over the bar from a similar range. It's pretty incessant now from PSG - wave after wave of attack. How long can Les Herbiers hold on?

    Is there a magnet in that post? PSG midfielder Giovani lo Celso hits a fantastic curling effort which strikes the woodwork. It's the exact same post they've hit all three times - but it's goalless after 20 minutes.

    Les Herbiers 0-0 PSG

    Les Herbiers' defence almost go to sleep but Angel di Maria can't take advantage and keeper Matthieu Pichot comes off his line to claim.

    Now a cross from the left goes past Edinson Cavani, who claims he was fouled. The referee doesn't agree. We have VAR tonight if needed.

    Les Herbiers will be delighted to have made it through the first 10 minutes (and more) unscathed. Still a long, long, long way to go though and PSG are really knocking on the door.

    Kylian Mbappe goes down expecting a free-kick but doesn't get one.

    The corner makes its away to Dani Alves, who launches the ball into the box and keeper Matthieu Pichot holds under pressure from Edinson Cavani.

    Cheers from the fans in red.

    Paris St-Germain have hit the post again - Kylian Mbappe latches onto a long ball forward and pokes the ball past keeper Matthieu Pichot but it strikes the post and goes away.

    Nervy times for Les Herbiers.

    Les Herbiers 0-0 PSG

    Les Herbiers are showing so much confidence around defence - they're not worried about making mistakes or PSG taking advantage.

    But the French champions are starting to dominate the areas of play now - Les Herbiers haven't been past the halfway line in a while.

    Les Herbiers take too many chances at the back and they're almost made to pay as Giovani lo Celso hits the post from just outside the box.

    Les Herbiers take a risk at the back but keeper Matthieu Pichot does well to clear the ball. Adrien Rabiot has to commit a foul to stop a Les Herbiers attack.

    Now PSG keeper Kevin Trapp flies off his line to stop a chance.

    This... this is not what I was expecting.

    Les Herbiers have a corner within a minute! They put together a 50-second spell of possession, I don't think PSG have a touch until Thiago Silva blocks Sebastien Flocon's 20-yard shot.

    Following the corner, Joachim Eickmayer shoots wide from outside the box.
