This Tuesday, Paris Saint-Germain (1st) will face Villarreal (19th) at the Estadio de la Cerámica for the 4th matchday of the 2026-2027 Champions League (kick-off at 9:00 PM, CET). This Sunday, L’Équipe proposed a probable starting lineup for the Parisian side:
Doué – Torres – Akliouche
Ruiz – Vitinha – Neves
Hernandez – Pacho – Zabarnyi – Hakimi
Safonov
This is a highly plausible lineup, given the available players and recent performances. Warren Zaïre-Emery—whether as a left-back or in midfield—and Mika Godts, in particular, could also feature. Senny Mayulu is another option, potentially playing as a false nine or on the wing, which could see Maghnes Akliouche or Désiré Doué move into a central role, especially since Ferran Torres has been less convincing of late. We will have to wait for further confirmation, though a general idea of the side likely to be fielded on Tuesday is already taking shape.
