This Tuesday, Paris Saint-Germain faces Bayern Munich at the Parc des Princes in the first leg of their 2025-2026 Champions League semi-final (the second leg is on May 6th). Kick-off is at 9 pm, CET. This Sunday, L’Equipe suggested a likely PSG lineup, with Vitinha (the 26-year-old midfielder) fully recovered from injury and potentially starting.
“If Vitinha is fit to start, which seems likely, Luis Enrique could field the same team for the third consecutive Champions League match:
Kvaratskhelia – Dembélé – Doué
Neves – Vitinha – Zaïre-Emery
Mendes – Pacho – Marquinhos – Hakimi
Safonov.”
This is a credible prediction, but we should always be wary of media reports regarding injuries and the lineup chosen by coach Luis Enrique. We’ve already seen how difficult it is to get precise information and that the PSG coach isn’t giving away any hints.
There’s optimism surrounding Vitinha, and his absence was very brief, so his presence against Bayern is quite possible. However, it’s not yet a done deal. We’ll wait for news tomorrow to know more, and probably the official team announcements for certainty.
