This Tuesday, as part of the Champions League 2024-2025 first-leg play-offs (return on Wednesday February 19), Paris Saint-Germain take on Brest at the Stade du Roudourou (kick-off 6.45pm, UTC+1). On the eve of this encounter, the press tried to guess the team that will be fielded by Paris coach Luis Enrique.
Le Parisien (4-3-3) –
Kvaratskhelia – Dembélé – Barcola
Doué ou Ruiz – Vitinha – Neves
Mendes – Pacho – Marquinhos – Hakimi
Donnarumma.
L’Equipe (4-3-3) –
Kvaratskhelia – Dembélé – Barcola
Doué – Vitinha – Neves
Mendes – Pacho – Marquinhos – Hakimi
Donnarumma.
Given the squad, every team seems possible, but you can never be sure with the Spanish coach. Since his arrival, we’ve seen that the press are given no indication of his choices, which can also surprise everyone.
Luis Enrique relies on fierce competition and great versatility, with the desire to occupy “spaces” in particular depending on the precise analysis of the opponent. We’ll have to wait and see the outcome of all this, even if there is obviously an overall idea, an almost “type-team” that has emerged in recent weeks.
