This Sunday, Paris Saint-Germain (1st) faces Olympique de Marseille (3rd) at the Parc des Princes for Matchday 21 of the 2025-2026 Ligue 1 season (kick-off at 8:45 PM, CET). This Friday, Le Parisien published a probable PSG lineup.
Barcola – Dembélé – Lee
Doué – Vitinha – Neves
Mendes – Pacho – Marquinhos – Zaïre-Emery
Safonov
This is a perfectly plausible lineup, but nothing is certain since coach Luis Enrique doesn’t give any information to the press and is very good at surprising everyone. We saw that again last week in Strasbourg, with an attack that no one saw coming.
With the competition and versatility within the squad, there are always several options, and the Spaniard knows how to make bold choices. There’s also the idea of exploiting the opponent’s perceived weaknesses while minimizing their strengths—those crucial spaces that Luis Enrique wants his team to try and exploit, or not.
So, we’re remaining cautious, especially with some lingering fitness concerns due to recent returns. But it’s clear there’s no specific rotation planned, with a week to prepare and the next match on Friday against Rennes (matchday 22).
