This Friday, as part of the 31st day of Ligue 1 2024-2025, Paris Saint-Germain (1st) take on Nice (5th) at the Parc des Princes (kick-off 8.45pm, 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) –
Barcola – Ramos – Doué
Ruiz – Zaïre-Emery – Lee
Hernandez – Pacho – Beraldo – Hakimi
Safonov.
L’Equipe (4-3-3) –
Barcola – Dembélé – Kvaratskhelia
Mayulu – Zaïre-Emery – Doué
Hernandez – Pacho – Beraldo – Hakimi
Donnarumma.
Given the squad, every team seems possible, but there’s no such thing as certainty. Coach Luis Enrique knows how to surprise the press, to whom he gives no indications. We only suspect that the team will be put together with Tuesday’s Champions League semi-final first leg against Arsenal in mind. At the same time, we’re aiming to be competitive in that match.
Because there’s our unbeaten record in Ligue 1 to defend, but also because confidence is an excellent way to prepare. As is rhythm. Except that some of the players will also be rested. So we’ll have to make a few guesses based on how we’ve managed in recent matches, bearing in mind that the solution is not the same for all players.
The easiest thing to do is wait until about an hour before tonight’s match, to be sure. But we should have a very serious Parisian team, with a bit of rotation.
