This Tuesday, Paris Saint-Germain faces Bayern Munich at the Parc des Princes in the first leg of their 2025-2026 Champions League semi-final (the second leg is on May 6th). Kick-off is at 9 pm, CET+. PSG coach Luis Enrique must choose his starting eleven, taking into account the opponent, upcoming matches, and the risk of suspensions, after having selected the PSG squad for this encounter.
One can never be certain with Luis Enrique, who doesn’t give away any clues and knows how to surprise. However, the suspense is somewhat diminished with a match like this. Rotation is planned to ensure players are at their best tonight, but it’s not feasible for this game.
It remains to be seen which team is best suited for this clash, which depends on the competition for places, the exact form of each player, and an analysis of the opponent, including the spaces to exploit. We don’t have all the information, but the main doubts seem to be between Fabian Ruiz and Warren Zaïre-Emery in midfield, and between Désiré Doué and Bradley Barcola in attack.
Possible lineup:
Kvaratskhelia – Dembélé – Doué
Neves – Vitinha – Zaïre-Emery
Mendes – Pacho – Marquinhos – Hakimi
Safonov.
Substitutes – Chevalier, Marin, Beraldo, Hernandez, Zabarnyi, Dro, Lee, Mayulu, Ruiz, Barcola, Mbaye, Ramos.
Out – Ndjantou (injury).
Possible suspension for yellow card: None.
