This Wednesday, in the 2025 Intercontinental Cup final, Paris Saint-Germain faces Brest at the Ahmad-ben-Ali Al Rayyan Stadium in Doha, Qatar (kick-off at 6 p.m., CET). Ahead of this match, the press has been trying to predict the starting lineup that Parisian coach Luis Enrique will field.
Le Parisien (4-3-3) –
Kvaratskhelia – Doué – Barcola
Ruiz – Vitinha – Neves
Mendes – Pacho – Marquinhos – Zaïre-Emery
Chevalier.
L’Equipe (4-3-3) –
Kvaratskhelia – Doué – Barcola
Ruiz – Vitinha – Neves
Mendes – Pacho – Marquinhos – Zaïre-Emery
Chevalier.
Each lineup is entirely possible, but not certain. Luis Enrique doesn’t give any hints to the media, who struggle to anticipate all his choices. Even if a certain “starting lineup” is emerging, it could change depending on the competition and the exact characteristics of the opponent.
For this match, with a title at stake, we expect a starting eleven primarily focused on competitiveness. But there could also be some changes. In any case, there are always several options within this well-equipped squad, which boasts several particularly versatile players. There is some doubt about Ousmane Dembélé’s (the 28-year-old striker) ability to start, so he is not being considered by the press. However, it’s not impossible.
