This Wednesday, Paris Saint-Germain (2nd) faces Athletic Bilbao (27th) at the San Mamés Stadium for Matchday 6 of the 2025-2026 Champions League (kick-off at 9 pm, CET). On Tuesday evening, Le Parisien published a predicted PSG lineup.
Kvaratskhelia – Ndjantou – Barcola
Ruiz – Vitinha – Neves
Mayulu – Pacho – Marquinhos – Zaïre-Emery

A perfectly plausible lineup, but we must remain cautious since the media always struggle to predict coach Luis Enrique’s choices. This isn’t illogical; he doesn’t give any hints and knows how to surprise everyone. The Spaniard relies on fierce competition, the versatility of his players, and an analysis of the opponent to select certain profiles.
There are also doubts surrounding the physical condition of some players in this difficult start to the season without proper preparation. Not to mention Nuno Mendes, the 23-year-old left-back who has had a few setbacks, including a recent thigh injury.
