This Wednesday, as part of the Champions League 2024-2025 quarter-finals (return on March 15), Paris Saint-Germain take on Aston Villa at the Parc des Princes (kick-off 9pm, CET). On the eve 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 – Dembélé – Kvaratskhelia
Ruiz – Neves – Vitinha
Mendes – Pacho – Beraldo – Hakimi
Donnarumma.
L’Equipe (4-3-3) –

Donnarumma.
Every team seems possible, but it’s impossible to be certain, given that the Spanish coach has managed to surprise the media, the fans and his opponents on several occasions. In his management of the team, with great competition and highly developed versatility, the options are numerous.
For example, Désiré Doué (19) could start in midfield or attack, while Ousmane Dembélé (27), Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (24) and Bradley Barcola (22) could start in different attacking positions. Not to mention the doubts in midfield, with Warren Zaïre-Emery and Fabian Ruiz potentially vying for 3rd place.
In defense, the suspense is more between Lucas Beraldo (21) and Lucas Hernandez (28) to replace Marquinhos (30, suspended), with the Brazilian seeming to have the edge in recent major tournaments.
