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, L’Equipe has put forward a likely Parisian line-up.
Kvaratskhelia – Dembélé – Barcola
Ruiz – Vitinha – Neves
Mendes – Pacho – Marquinhos – Hakimi
Donnarumma.
A team that’s entirely possible, but we’re still cautious as long as there’s nothing official, since we know that coach Luis Enrique knows how to surprise and doesn’t give indications to the press. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (24-year-old striker), who is not yet in top form in Paris and still needs to adapt, is in particular doubt. This match could be a good opportunity.
We could also see Désiré Doué (19-year-old midfielder/striker) start the match, possibly in place of Fabian Ruiz (28). Even if the latter makes a name for himself with PSG. Doué could also start on the left or right of the attack, while Bradley Barcola (22) still doesn’t seem entirely comfortable on the right. But it’s also an opportunity to work on him in a very serious match, with a lead. And let’s not forget that Ousmane Dembélé (27) could also play on the flank.
The options are numerous, and we’re far from having covered everything. We’ll have to wait and see for certain, even if there’s a certain backbone to the team.
