This Tuesday, as part of Matchday 2 of the 2024-2025 Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain (15th) take on Arsenal (16th) at Emirates Stadium (kick-off 9pm, broadcast on Canal+Foot). Ahead 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 – Lee – Kolo Muani
Neves – Vitinha – Zaire-Emery
Mendes – Pacho – Marquinhos – Hakimi
Donnarumma.
L’Equipe (4-3-3) –
Barcola – Asensio – Lee
Neves – Ruiz – Zaïre-Emery
Mendes – Pacho – Marquinhos – Hakimi
Donnarumma.
Given the squad, every team seems possible. The decision to leave out Ousmane Dembélé was a strong one, but who will replace him is anyone’s guess.
Désiré Doué, Randal Kolo Muani and Lee Kang-In are all possible and quite different options. Especially as it involves other elements. For example, the Korean could also play in the center of the park. This may depend on the form of Marco Asensio, who is present but returning from injury.
We’ll have to wait and see about certainties, as we’ve seen enough of coach Luis Enrique’s ability to surprise the press (to whom he gives no information), the fans and the opposition.
