This Saturday, in the final of the Champions League 2024-2025, Paris Saint-Germain take on Inter Milan at Munich’s Allianz Arena (kick-off 9pm, CET). 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
Ruiz – Vitinha – Neves
Mendes – Pacho – Marquinhos – Hakimi
Donnarumma.
L’Equipe (4-3-3) –
Kvaratskhelia – Dembélé – Barcola
Ruiz – Vitinha – Neves
Mendes – Pacho – Marquinhos – Hakimi
Donnarumma.
Given the squad and the last few games, there are few doubts about tonight. Luis Enrique has put in place tough competition throughout the season, but little by little we’ve seen a “standard team” take shape. In defense and midfield, it’s actually quite clear.
It’s in attack that we’re still hesitating, notably between Désiré Doué (19) and Bradley Barcola (24). Although Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (24) on the bench is not totally impossible. In any case, each has a strong case to make.
Doué had settled in for part of the season, but was in more difficulty and saw Barcola come back very strongly. The latter’s speed is also an argument against an Inter team that likes to play high up the pitch. But that’s not all, so we’ll have to wait and see.
