This Saturday, Paris Saint-Germain (2nd) faces Metz (18th) at the Parc des Princes for Matchday 23 of the 2025-2026 Ligue 1 season (kick-off at 9:05 PM, 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 squad for this game.
It’s always difficult to anticipate all of Luis Enrique’s choices. That’s a good thing, as it also presents a challenge for the opposition. Even if the overall playing style remains the same, some aspects will vary depending on the players’ profiles. There will be a competitive team, and we must respect our opponents and aim for victory in this very tight title race.
However, rotation is also expected since the match is sandwiched between two Champions League games (play-off against AS Monaco). Playing time needs to be managed, both for rest and to ensure everyone gets playing time. Finding the right balance is key; only the coaching staff has all the information.
Possible lineup:
Kvaratskhelia – Ramos – Mbaye
Doué – Lee – Dro
Hernandez – Beraldo – Zabarnyi – Hakimi
Chevalier
Substitutes: Marquinhos, Mendes, Pacho, Neves, Vitinha, Zaïre-Emery, Barcola
Unavailable: Dembélé, Mayulu, Ndjantou, Ruiz (injuries)
Possible suspension for yellow card: None.
