This Wednesday, Paris Saint-Germain (6th) faces Newcastle (7th) at the Parc des Princes for Matchday 8 of the 2025-2026 Champions League (kick-off at 9 pm, CET). On Tuesday evening, Le Parisien published a probable PSG lineup.
Barcola – Dembélé – Kvaratskhelia
Ruiz – Vitinha – Zaïre-Emery
Mendes – Pacho – Marquinhos – Hakimi

This is a perfectly plausible lineup, as no rotation is expected in a match that needs a win to secure a place in the Round of 16. PSG has already used up its chances against Athletic Bilbao and Sporting Lisbon, so it’s crucial to get that elusive victory. However, this raises some doubts given the competition.
Coach Luis Enrique doesn’t divulge his choices to the press, so we remain cautious. Especially since the versatility so valued by the Spaniard means several combinations are possible. We’ll have to wait to find out the selections, which are also based on an analysis of the opponent. Not to mention the uncertainty surrounding the returns of Fabian Ruiz and Achraf Hakimi, even if starting positions are expected.
