This Tuesday, Paris Saint-Germain (3rd) faces Bayer Leverkusen (25th) at the BayArena in Matchday 3 of the 2025-2026 Champions League (kick-off at 9 p.m., CET). On Tuesday evening, Le Parisien predicted a likely Parisian lineup:
Barcola – Mayulu – Kvaratskhelia
Doué – Vitinha – Zaïre-Emery
Mendes – Pacho – Zabarnyi – Hakimi
Chevalier.
A very possible lineup, but we also remain very cautious since we’ve already seen that the media get little or nothing about the choices coach Luis Enrique will make. Here, we’ll mainly wait to find out which players returning from injury will be able to start or not. This obviously changes a lot. But only the coaching staff has all the data and can therefore make the choices.
Senny Mayulu (19 years old) could start as a false 9, as he did in the first two matches, but he could also play in midfield, with Doué rather in attack (or the surprise Gonçalo Ramos, who hasn’t started in the Champions League for almost a year). Le Titi could also be on the bench, while Lee Kang-In could start. The uncertainty is great. So much the better, this suspense exists for the opponents.
