This Wednesday, Paris Saint-Germain take on Aston Villa at the Parc des Princes in the quarter-finals of the Champions League 2024-2025 (CET). On the eve of the match, Le Parisien has put forward a likely Parisian line-up.
Kvaratskhelia – Dembélé – Doué
Ruiz – Neves – Vitinha
Mendes – Pacho – Beraldo – Hakimi
Donnarumma.
It’s a perfectly feasible team for this European clash, a major event for which there’s no need to consider rotation. Rather, it has been designed to ensure that the squad is as ready as possible for a great performance. With Luis Enrique’s style, there are plenty of options in this squad.
Last night, for example, L’Equipe put Khvicha Kvaratskhelia on the bench for Bradley Barcola in the starting line-up. And both could finally start, with Désiré Doué as a substitute. A role that seems almost certain for Gonçalo Ramos and Warren Zaïre-Emery, given their recent matches. Even so, watch out for a Luis Enrique surprise.
We’ll have to wait and see for certain, as we’ve already seen that the press is having trouble getting everything right when it comes to PSG’s line-up with the Spanish coach. Understandably, he likes competition on a daily basis, analyzing opponents and is capable of making strong, surprising choices. So much the better, as it’s also hard for opponents to guess everyone’s place.
