This Friday, Paris Saint-Germain (1st) take on Nice (5th) at the Parc des Princes for the 31st day of Ligue 1 2024-2025 (kick-off 8.45pm, CET). 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.
It’s always difficult to know exactly which team coach Luis Enrique will field. It’s just as complicated for the opponent. Unpredictability is an important point, especially as it continues once on the pitch.
This time, there’s the first leg of the Champions League semi-final against Arsenal on Tuesday. It’s logical that we’ll have to manage our preparations. But that doesn’t mean resting all possible first-teamers, or starting them all for a final test. It’s often a mix with the Spanish coach. Which also means that everyone can be involved.
We know that the team will be competitive, and the best preparation is rhythm and victory. We also have our unbeaten record in Ligue 1 to defend.

Barcola – Dembélé – Doué
