Here's how Twitter reacted to the line-ups:

After all we've learned and been through this season, Zidane falls on the diamond with our entire season and his job on the line. Emery could still bottle it, but I'm at a loss for words.

On his day, Bale is better than Neymar, yet he's being started on the bench? What is ZZ up to.

On God. Who are these Berchiche and Lo Celso. I've to admit I rarely watch PSG matches but man … ok hope they're not giving away this game. I want that fraud Penaldo to be eliminated as early as possible. Can't stand seeing him win another Ballon d'Or

Gareth Bale on the bench for Real in their must-win last-16 game. Lack of faith from Zidane? Course, if they lose, ZZ probably won't be there next season anyway.

As an Isco fan, I preferred Bale in attack https://t.co/wn7aePOC5t

Not even surprised Thiago Silva is dropped. Overrated & clumsy like a lot of “world class defenders”

Thiago Silva actually can’t play in big games huh, he genuinely cracks under pressure. Weakest mentality I’ve ever seen in sports.

They benched Thiago Silva for kimpembe. Easy for Ronaldo.

Thiago Silva and Kurzawa dropped!!!!!! Real madrid will run riot today 😂😂😂

— Chiraag Dhungana (@chiraagLFC) February 14, 2018

Thiago Silva dropped by Emery, and the inexperienced Lo Celso set to start instead of Diarra. Not sure if this is the best platform to experiment.

Thiago Silva rightly dropped, massive choker.

— Zane (@WalterTactic) February 14, 2018

Thiago Silva gives you absolutely no confidence as a captain if he's trying to duck pivotal UCL games

WHERE IS FUCKING BALE??????? I’m sick of Zidanes bullshit, hope Paris smoke them. I’m gonna watch the game now, ALLEZ PSG

— Buny (@bunyeezus) February 14, 2018

And it seems Zidane is set to keep Bale on the bench - despite 'resting' him at the weekend - and play Isco in a 4-4-2. He's got some big balls, that Zidane.

Bale is on the bench, Isco starts, I cry.
