This Sunday, as part of Matchday 23 of Ligue 1 2024-2025, Paris Saint-Germain (1st) take on Olympique Lyonnais (6th) at Groupama Stadium (kick-off 8.45pm, 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 – Vitinha – Neves
Mendes – Pacho – Marquinhos – Hakimi
Donnarumma.
L’Equipe (4-3-3) –
Barcola – Dembélé – Doué
Neves – Vitinha – Lee
Mendes – Pacho – Marquinhos – Hakimi
Donnarumma.
Every team seems possible, but we’re bound to remain cautious as we’ve seen enough of the media having trouble knowing exactly what Luis Enrique intends to do. He gives no indication and knows how to surprise everyone, including his opponents. Which is an excellent thing, given that his team is particularly difficult to play against.
Let’s wait and see what the Parisian coach has in mind for this match. Even if we know that the idea of the game will not change: get the ball high, create and use space and recover the ball as quickly as possible when it’s lost.
