This Sunday, Paris Saint-Germain (1st) take on Olympique Lyonnais (5th) at the Parc des Princes for the 15th day of Ligue 1 2024-2025 (kick-off 8:45pm, broadcast on DAZN). On the eve of the match, Le Parisien has put forward a likely Parisian line-up.
Barcola – Ramos – Dembélé
Neves – Vitinha – Zaïre-Emery
Mendes – Pacho – Marquinhos – Hakimi
Donnarumma.
It’s a possible team, but also an uncertain one. At least, we’ve seen coach Luis Enrique surprise enough times to know that a certain caution is called for. Even if an eleven is taking shape, he is always capable of making a “strong” choice, given the competition or his analysis of the opposition.
And let’s not forget that it’s a busy period, with the trip to Salzburg last Tuesday (0-3, Champions League) and the forthcoming games at Monaco on Wednesday (16th day of Ligue 1, advanced match) and Lens on Sunday (round of 32 of the Coupe de France). There may be a certain amount of game time management.
One of the biggest suspensions concerns Ousmane Dembélé (27-year-old striker), who was suspended on Tuesday and came on as a substitute in the previous league match. Will he regain his starting place, or has he dropped too many points at the moment and needs to redeem himself?
