This Wednesday, Paris Saint-Germain faces Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final (PSG won the first leg 5-4) for the 2025-2026 season (kick-off at 9 pm, CET). On Tuesday evening, Le Parisien published a probable PSG lineup.
Kvaratskhelia – Dembélé – Doué
Ruiz – Vitinha – Neves
Mendes – Pacho – Marquinhos – Zaïre-Emery

As always, we urge caution, as PSG coach Luis Enrique doesn’t give any information to the media. It’s best to try and anticipate, perhaps with a small piece of information that someone might have leaked.
However, there’s little doubt in the Champions League, as no rotation is expected. Competition for places remains fierce, but several players have established themselves as key members of the squad. The main question mark hangs over Bradley Barcola, who might start this time after being a substitute in the first leg. However, this would mean dropping a big-name player, possibly Désiré Doué (a 20-year-old midfielder/forward).
Although Doué could also play in midfield as an opportunity. He has already shone in that position. However, this would mean another big-name player would be relegated to the bench, given the already intense competition for places. The main question is whether Fabian Ruiz (a 30-year-old midfielder) has regained enough match fitness to be considered for a starting spot.
The final decision will only be made with the official team announcements, approximately one hour before kickoff.
