This Wednesday, Paris Saint-Germain will face Tottenham at the Bluenergy Stadium in Udine in the 2025 European Super Cup (kick-off at 9 p.m., CET). Paris coach Luis Enrique must choose his starting 11, taking into account the opponent, upcoming matches, and the risk of suspension, after forming the Parisian squad for this match.
It’s difficult to guess the team for this first match of the season, since we don’t really know the physical condition of each player based on their playing time last season, their vacations, and their return to training. It’s not just a question of minutes. There are different profiles and physiques. Not to mention the competition, which is always very important to coach Luis Enrique.
We’re trying to come up with a starting lineup for the 2024-2025 Champions League final, based on the competition between players throughout the season and one of the best performances of the season. There is one change, however, with new signing Lucas Chevalier in goal. There is some doubt surrounding Ilya Zabarnyi, who has had a more complete preparation but lacks automatism in his play.
As a reminder, João Neves is suspended following his red card in the Club World Cup final against Chelsea.
Possible lineup :
Kvaratskhelia – Dembélé – Doué
Ruiz – Vitinha – Zaïre-Emery
Mendes – Pacho – Marquinhos – Hakimi
Chevalier.
Substitutes – Safonov, Marin, Beraldo, Hernandez, Kamara, Barcola, Lee, Mbaye, Ramos.
Out – Mayulu (minor injury), Neves (suspension), Zabarnyi (not registered), Donnarumma, Kimpembe, Tenas (choice).
Possible suspension for yellow card: None.
