This Tuesday, as part of Matchday 5 of the 2024-2025 Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain (25th) take on Bayern Munich (17th) at the Allianz Arena (kick-off 9pm, broadcast on Canal+Foot in France). On the eve of this encounter, the press tried to guess the team that will be fielded by Paris coach Luis Enrique.
PSG :
Le Parisien (4-3-3) –
Barcola – Dembélé – Lee
Neves – Vitinha – Zaïre-Emery
Mendes – Pacho – Marquinhos – Hakimi
Safonov or Donnarumma
L’Equipe (4-3-3) –
Barcola – Dembélé – Le
Neves – Vitinha – Zaïre-Emery
Mendes – Pacho – Marquinhos – Hakimi
Donnarumma
Given the squad, this team looks possible, even if there’s still some doubt about coach Luis Enrique. We’ve seen that he doesn’t give the slightest indication to the media, and he knows how to surprise everyone. Especially his opponents, which is interesting.
We do have a general idea of the starting eleven, which we also mentioned in our video (to be found at the end of the article), as in the competition some players have scored particularly well and others are struggling to make their mark. Let’s wait now for the certainties.
Luis Enrique has already used Dembélé as a false 9 when faced with teams pressing high up the pitch, in order to have a freewheeling electron. That’s an option tonight. As for the goalkeeper, anything seems possible and we trust the staff to choose the one best prepared to follow the plan.
Bayern Munich:
Le Parisien (4-3-3) –
Kane
Coman – Musiala – Olise
Kimmich – Goretzka
Davies – Kim – Upamecano – Guerreiro
Neuer
L’Equipe (4-3-3) –
Kane
Coman – Musiala – Olise
Kimmich – Goretzka
Davies – Kim – Upamecano – Guerreiro
Neuer
Here too, a surprise may be in the offing, even if it’s a little less of a “habit” for Kompany. The 4-2-3-1 is well established, and so are the players (given the absentees) to bring it to life on big nights. In any case, it’s a fine team, and we’re expecting a top-class match.
