This Sunday, as part of Matchday 17 of Ligue 1 2024-2025, Paris Saint-Germain (1st) take on Saint-Etienne (15th) at the Parc des Princes (kick-off 8.45pm, broadcast on DAZN in France). 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) –
Doué – Ramos – Dembélé
Neves – Vitinha – Zaïre-Emery
Mendes – Pacho – Beraldo – Hakimi
Donnarumma
L’Equipe (4-3-3) –
Barcola – Ramos – Dembélé
Neves – Vitinha – Zaïre-Emery
Mendes – Pacho – Beraldo – Hakimi
Donnarumma
Given the squad, every team seems possible, but you can never be sure with Luis Enrique. He knows how to surprise the media, the fans and, no doubt, the opponents. So we’re waiting to find out more, even though at the time of the official announcement there are sometimes still doubts as to where everyone fits in.
In any case, PSG will be starting a very busy period, and perhaps there will be a little rotation to give some of the players a bit of a rhythm. There’s also the 16th Coupe de France on Wednesday against FC Espaly to look forward to. There, we could stay close to a “standard team”. Even if there’s no fixed eleven with the Parisian coach.
It should be noted here that Doué and Barcola could play together, with the former returning to the center of the park. But perhaps Ramos will indeed start this time.
