This Wednesday, Paris Saint-Germain take on Real Madrid at MetLife Stadium in New York in the semi-finals of the 2025 Club World Cup (kick-off 9pm CET, broadcast on DAZN). On the eve of the match, Le Parisien has put forward a likely Parisian team.
Kvaratskhelia – Dembélé – Doué
Ruiz – Vitinha – Neves
Mendes – Beraldo – Marquinhos – Hakimi
Donnarumma
It’s a credible team, although we can’t be sure, as coach Luis Enrique always knows how to surprise. Some players have been getting ahead of themselves lately in the competitive game, but there’s no question of leaving the others behind. You have to keep everyone involved, in rhythm and confident. The usual regulars may also be tired.
So there are still some uncertainties, except, probably, in a defense depleted by two red cards (Lucas Hernandez and Willian Pacho). Ousmane Dembélé is likely to start this time after 2 substitute appearances, even if this is not a foregone conclusion. Then there are doubts as to which player would be on the bench if the number 10’s return is confirmed.
