This Wednesday, Paris Saint-Germain take on Liverpool at the Parc des Princes in the second leg of the Champions League Round of 8, 2024-2025 (kick-off 9pm, UTC+1). Paris coach Luis Enrique must choose his starting 11, taking into account the opponent, upcoming matches and suspension risks, after having formed the Parisian squad for this match.
There are games every 3 days, but the others hardly count tonight. Apart from the fact that the management of playing time is designed to ensure that everyone is as fit as possible for this match. We suspect that it will be a “standard team” on the pitch. What exactly that means remains to be seen.
For certain positions, there are certainties (or almost). Like in defense. In midfield, João Neves and Vitinha are likely to start, as are Bradley Barcola and Ousmane Dembélé in attack. The rest remains to be seen…as do any possible surprises.
Possible line-up:
Barcola – Dembélé – Doué
Ruiz – Vitinha – Neves
Mendes – Pacho – Marquinhos – Hakimi
Donnarumma.
Substitutes – Safonov, Tenas, Beraldo, Hernandez, Kimpembe, Lee, Mayulu, Zaïre-Emery, Mbaye, Kvaratskhelia, Ramos.
Out – El Hannach, Tape, Zague (out).
Suspended for the second leg for a yellow card:
Fabian Ruiz for Paris.
Alexis Mac Allister, Ibrahima Konaté and Andy Robertson for England.
