This Tuesday, Paris Saint-Germain take on Aston Villa at Villa Park in the second leg of their Champions League 2024-2025 quarter-final (Paris won 3-1 in the first leg) (kick-off 9pm, CET). With 2 days to go, RMC Sport has put forward a likely Parisian line-up.
Kvaratskhelia – Dembélé – Doué
Ruiz – Vitinha – Neves
Mendes – Pacho – Marquinhos – Hakimi
Donnarumma
It’s an entirely feasible team, and one that would broadly match our recent encounters, particularly the first leg. With the return of Marquinhos following his match suspension, in place of Lucas Beraldo. There may be doubts in attack, with Bradley Barcola likely to have his say, especially against an Aston Villa side forced to come out more.
Except that it’s difficult to take out one of the attacking players from the first leg. And he could also make the most of the space at the end, when the English team would have no choice but to come out high. And let’s not forget that coach Luis Enrique knows how to surprise. The only certainty is the official line-up.
