This Wednesday, as part of matchday 8 of the Champions League 2024-2025 league phase, Paris Saint-Germain (22nd) take on Stuttgart (24th) at the Mercedes-Benz Arena (kick-off 9pm). On the eve of this encounter, the press tried to guess the team that will be fielded by Paris coach Luis Enrique.
Le Parisien (4-3-3) –
Barcola – Dembélé – Doué
Neves – Vitinha – Zaïre-Emery
Hernandez – Pacho – Marquinhos – Hakimi
Donnarumma
L’Equipe (4-3-3) –
Barcola – Dembélé – Doué
Neves – Vitinha – Zaïre-Emery
Hernandez – Pacho – Marquinhos – Hakimi
Donnarumma
Given the squad, this team seems possible, especially as the two newspapers are proposing the same one. But we also know with Luis Enrique that you can never be certain. We’ll have to wait and see. The Spanish coach doesn’t give the press the runaround and knows how to surprise the media, fans and opponents alike. So we’ll have to wait and see what he comes up with for this match.
Even if a typical team is emerging, given the choices and performances in recent games. There are still points of doubt. Like seeing Dembélé in the middle, because it could be Doué with the same starting XI.
In any case, we hope that Luis Enrique has found the right formula for this decisive match, with a view to building on the fine results of the win over City and qualifying, of course. And all this in the face of stiff competition.
