This Wednesday, as part of Day 1 of the Champions League 2024-2025 league phase, Paris Saint-Germain take on Girona at the Parc des Princes (kick-off 9pm, broadcast on Canal+). On the eve of the match, the press tried to guess the team that will be fielded by Paris coach Luis Enrique.
Le Parisien (4-3-3) –
Barcola – Asensio – Dembélé
Ruiz – Vitinha – Neves
Mendes – Pacho – Marquinhos – Hakimi
Safonov.
L’Equipe (4-3-3) –
Barcola – Asensio – Dembélé
Ruiz – Vitinha – Neves
Mendes – Pacho – Marquinhos – Hakimi
Safonov.
Given the squad, every team seems possible, but there’s no certainty yet. We know that coach Luis Enrique knows how to surprise the press, the fans and his opponents.
Above all, there are small doubts about the exact state of fitness of Vitinha and Warren Zaïre-Emery, who are returning from injury. Both have been light, and both players have been able to train recently. But they’re not necessarily at their best, and there are some strong contenders.
Only the staff have all the information, so we’ll have to wait for the official announcement of the team before we can be sure.
