This Tuesday, first-place Paris Saint-Germain will face second-place Bayern Munich at the Parc des Princes in Matchday 4 of the 2025-2026 Champions League (kick-off at 9 p.m. CET, broadcast on Canal+). Parisian coach Luis Enrique must choose his starting 11 players, taking into account the opponent, upcoming matches, and suspension risks, after assembling the Parisian squad for this match.
The team chosen by coach Luis Enrique is always difficult to predict, as he knows how to surprise everyone. Above all, he relies on the daily competition and the exact condition of each player, not to mention the analysis made with his coaching staff of the opponent. These are elements we don’t have at our disposal.
It’s a little easier with a Champions League match, especially against such an opponent, since it’s clear the Spaniard will field the “best team” possible. There’s no question of managing the squad with the surrounding matches in mind. Quite the opposite: the rotation within the squad is designed to ensure the team is at its best on such an evening.
It remains to be seen exactly what this means, although we can get an idea. Doubts remain about Fabian Ruiz and Ousmane Dembélé’s ability to start.
Possible lineup:
Kvaratskhelia – Ramos – Barcola
Neves – Vitinha – Zaïre-Emery
Mendes – Pacho – Marquinhos – Hakimi
Chevalier
Substitutes – Safonov, Marin, Beraldo, Hernandez, Lee, Mayulu, Ndjantou, Ruiz, Dembélé, Mbaye.
