This Wednesday, Paris Saint-Germain take on Brest at the Parc des Princes for the Champions League 2024-2025 play-offs (kick-off 9pm, broadcast on Canal+Foot and 0-3 first leg). On the eve of the match, Le Parisien has put forward a likely Parisian line-up.
Kvaratskhelia – Dembélé – Barcola
Ruiz – Vitinha – Neves
Mendes – Pacho – Marquinhos – Hakimi
Donnarumma.
As always, we’re cautious, as there’s nothing certain about what the press is saying. We’ve seen enough of coach Luis Enrique’s refusal to give journalists the slightest indication that he knows how to surprise. There’s always plenty of competition, squad management (both to avoid injuries and to involve the whole group) and choices based on specific ideas for a match.
So we’ll have to wait and see, bearing in mind that having all 11 players in the starting line-up may leave some doubts as to where each one will fit in. This will continue to evolve during the match. In any case, we have no doubt that Luis Enrique is preparing his team for a great performance and a victory. There’s no question of resting on the scoreline from the first leg.
