This Wednesday, Paris Saint-Germain (1st) faces Brest (8th) at the Ahmad-ben-Ali Al Rayyan Stadium in Doha, Qatar, in the final of the 2025 Intercontinental Cup (kick-off at 6 p.m., CET). PSG coach Luis Enrique must choose his starting eleven, taking into account the opponent, upcoming matches, and the risk of suspensions, after having selected the Parisian squad for this encounter.
It’s difficult to be certain of Luis Enrique’s choices, as always. He has created fierce competition within the squad, with training sessions whose content remains unknown. There’s also the matter of managing players’ fitness and ensuring everyone is involved. Not to mention the crucial analysis of the opponent.
We expect a very competitive team to win this title, with a certain amount of anticipation given that it’s in Doha. But we don’t know if the match will be approached with the same mindset as a Champions League game, for example.
Possible lineup:
Kvaratskhelia – Dembélé – Doué

Chevalier.
Substitutes – Safonov, Marin, Beraldo, Hernandez, Zabarnyi, Lee, Mayulu, Ndjantou, Barcola, Mbaye, Ramos.
