This Sunday, Paris Saint-Germain will face Nantes at the Stade de la Beaujoire in the first matchday of Ligue 1 2025-2026 (kick-off at 8:45 p.m., broadcast on Ligue 1+). This Saturday, Le Parisien has put forward a likely Parisian lineup.
Barcola – Ramos – Mbaye
Doué – Vitinha – Lee
Beraldo – Pacho – Zabarnyi – Zaïre-Emery
Chevalier
It’s a perfectly feasible team, given João Neves’ suspension, while also being quite surprising. But we must remain cautious, since coach Luis Enrique doesn’t give any indications to the press and he is quite capable of surprising others. Especially with the competition, which he considers so important, but also with his analysis of the opponent and his squad management.
There’s also real doubt surrounding Ilya Zabarnyi. The 22-year-old defender has only just joined the squad and still needs to adapt to the Parisian game. But he’s the only player in the squad, along with goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier (23), to have completed a full training session. We’ll have to wait for the official announcement, about an hour before kickoff, to have any certainty. We’d be surprised by so much rotation.
