This Saturday, as part of the 22nd day of Ligue 1 2024-2025, Paris Saint-Germain (1st) take on Toulouse (10th) at the Stadium (kick-off 9.05pm, UTC+1). 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) –
Kvaratskhelia – Dembélé – Barcola
Mayulu – Neves – Lee
Hernandez – Beraldo – Marquinhos – Hakimi
Donnarumma.
L’Equipe (4-3-3) –
Kvaratskhelia – Ramos – Doué
Ruiz – Neves – Lee
Hernandez – Beraldo – Marquinhos – Hakimi
Donnarumma.
Given the group, every team seems possible, but we always remain cautious. Nothing is certain with the Spanish coach, who knows how to surprise the media, fans and opponents. And that’s without giving any indications to the newspapers. There are doubts about this match, since it’s between the two Champions League play-offs against Brest, in the middle of a very busy schedule. We suspect there will be some rotation, but it remains to be seen exactly what.
It’s always tricky to know exactly how things will be managed, especially as Luis Enrique will still want the team to be competitive and progress towards the Ligue 1 title. Here’s the general idea, but we’ll have to wait and see.
Even more so when it comes to the exact line-up, as it’s not always obvious where everyone fits in once you have the 11 names. There are even permutations during the course of a match.
