This Saturday, as part of the 19th day of Ligue 1 2024-2025, Paris Saint-Germain (1st) take on Reims (13th) at the Parc des Princes (kick-off 9.05pm, broadcast on DAZN). Ahead of the match, the press tried to guess the team that will be fielded by Paris coach Luis Enrique.
Le Parisien (4-3-3) –
Barcola – Mbappé – Kolo Muani
Asensio – Ugarte – Lee
Beraldo – Danilo – Skriniar or Marquinhos – Hakimi
Donnarumma.
L’Equipe (4-3-3) –
Mbappé – Kolo Muani – Barcola
Ruiz – Ugarte – Mayulu
Beraldo – Danilo – Marquinhos – Zague
Donnarumma.
Given the squad, every team looks a possibility, but there’s no such thing as certainty. The Parisians are between two Champions League matches that are decisive for their qualification. This inevitably demands a lot of energy and attention. It would be logical to rotate the squad for this match, but it remains to be seen exactly which one, given the numerous possibilities. Not forgetting the analysis of the opponent, with points in the game to press or not.
Nuno Mendes would not play, although he is suspended against Stuttgart, but this could also be a way of preparing the team against the Germans, with Hernandez in his place. Even if Hernandez could play in the center of the park, so that Marquinhos is spared (with Beraldo on the right and Hernandez on the left). As for the choice between Ruiz and Mayulu, there’s nothing simple about it. It’s also conceivable that both could start…or neither, although that would be surprising.
