This Friday, on Matchday 2 of Ligue 1 2025-2026, Paris Saint-Germain (2nd) will face Angers (7th) at the Parc des Princes (kick-off at 8:45 p.m., CET). Ahead of this match, the press tried to guess the team that Parisian coach Luis Enrique will field.
Le Parisien (4-3-3) –
Kvaratskhelia – Dembélé – Doué
Ruiz – Vitinha – Neves
Mendes – Pacho – Marquinhos – Hakimi
Chevalier.
L’Equipe (4-3-3) –
Kvaratskhelia – Dembélé – Doué
Ruiz – Vitinha – Neves
Mendes – Pacho – Marquinhos – Hakimi
Chevalier.
Given the squad, every team is a possibility. However, there are many uncertainties, with coach Luis Enrique proving capable of surprising everyone. We’ve seen that the media aren’t exactly certain. Above all, there’s an idea emerging, with the return of a “first team,” except for a possible rest for Vitinha. This makes sense after the extensive rotation on Sunday in Nantes, when the Portuguese midfielder was still in the starting lineup after Tottenham. Zaire-Emery too, but with less playing time.
But there’s time to prepare, and there’s the competition this week that counts, as well as details regarding the players’ fitness management, which are all different and only the coaching staff has. We’ll have to wait for the official announcement about an hour before the match for any certainties.
