There’s never been any certainty before the official announcement since Luis Enrique arrived at PSG, so we’ll remain cautious, especially when we see the differences here. The proposed lineups give us a general idea, except that they’re quite different. Here, PSG has been able to prepare “calmly,” since their last match was eight days ago against Angers. Then there’s the international break. The competition is fierce, and only the coaching staff has all the physical data.
There’s a whole management process that isn’t easy: all the players need a competitive “feel,” rhythm, and confidence. There could be some rotation, without forgetting to prepare those closest to a starting spot in the Champions League, which will come quickly.
