This Friday, Paris Saint-Germain (1st) take on Auxerre (8th) at the Stade de l’Abbé-Deschamps for the 14th day of Ligue 1 2024-2025 (kick-off 9pm, broadcast on DAZN in France). On the eve of the match, Le Parisien has put forward a likely Parisian line-up.
Barcola – Ramos – Lee
Neves – Vitinha – Zaire-Emery
Mendes – Pacho – Marquinhos – Hakimi
Donnarumma.
It’s a perfectly feasible team, but one that can’t be taken for granted, given that coach Luis Enrique regularly surprises the media, opponents and fans alike. He doesn’t hesitate to make some strong choices and some striking points based on his analysis of the opponent. Not to mention the results of the competition during the week’s training sessions, data that no-one else has at their disposal.
Then there’s the Champions League, which returns on Tuesday, with a trip to Salzburg at the end of which we absolutely must win. This may require a certain amount of management, both in terms of the need for rhythm and confidence, and the possible need for caution on the part of certain players.
