This Saturday, for Matchday 32 of Ligue 1 2025-2026, Paris Saint-Germain (1st) faces Lorient (9th) at the Parc des Princes (kick-off at 5 pm, CET). Ahead of this match, the press has been trying to predict the starting lineup that Parisian coach Luis Enrique will field.
Le Parisien (4-3-3) –
Mbaye – Barcola – Lee
Ruiz – Beraldo – Dro
Mayulu – Pacho – Hernandez – Zaïre-Emery
Marin
L’Equipe (4-3-3) –
Mbaye -Lee – Barcola
Ruiz – Beraldo – Dro
Mayulu – Pacho – Hernandez – Zaïre-Emery
Marin
Each lineup is possible, but nothing is certain. Luis Enrique doesn’t give instructions to the press and he always knows how to surprise. It’s not easy to anticipate everything, with rotation expected without knowing to what extent. There’s time since the first leg of the Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich on Tuesday and the return leg next Wednesday. A competitive team is also needed to push towards the title against Lorient, a team in particularly good form in 2026.
All this comes with a certain versatility in the squad, multiplying the options. We’ll therefore wait for the official announcement, about an hour before the match, to be certain. This is especially true for Renato Marin, as the idea of resting Matvey Safonov is a possibility and Lucas Chevalier is injured, but we saw against Angers last Saturday that it’s far from guaranteed. This would be Marin’s first match for PSG.
