The media are often reliable regarding Didier Deschamps’ choices, so we expect a team quite similar to this one. Even so, changes are possible with such a deep squad. Overall, this is what reflects recent matches and player availability, especially since the manager announced he would be managing the PSG players after last Saturday’s Champions League final against Arsenal.
