This Sunday, Paris Saint-Germain faces Rennes at the Roazhon Park in the opening round of the 2026-2027 Ligue 1 season (kick-off at 8:45 PM, CET). On Saturday, Le Parisien put forward a probable Paris lineup.
Kvaratskhelia – Dembélé or Akliouche – Doué
Ruiz – Vitinha – Zaïre-Emery
Digne – Pacho – Marquinhos – Hakimi
Safonov.
It is a perfectly credible lineup, though one must remain cautious; coach Luis Enrique does not leak information to the media, and “surprises” occur in every match. This is especially true during this particular period, which requires careful management of playing time—balancing the need for match fitness with the necessity of rest. All while remaining competitive, of course, as Paris always aims for victory, even if the season isn’t decided this early on.
New signings Mika Godts and Ferran Torres (forwards aged 21 and 26) will provide additional options, although it would be surprising to see them start in their very first match for PSG. Nevertheless, this creates a wealth of choices, characterized by fierce competition and great versatility. We will therefore await the official team announcement—expected about an hour before kick-off—to know for sure.
