Paris decimated, but Paris determined. The European champion presents himself on the starting line of his new Champions League campaign without two major players in his previous epic, Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Doué, while the third fort in the KHVICHA KVARETSKHELIA attack, who remained in the dining room this Tuesday, is still uncertain after his blow received in the left calf Sunday against Lens. The Georgian will decide on Wednesday of his participation in the match against Atalanta.
Despite this chain of injuries, which also concerns Lucas Beraldo, forfeit for this meeting, PSG approaches its continental season with ambition and a hunger of wolves. “The Champions League is the Champions League … It brings you a lot of passion and excitement. When you have tasted the happiness of winning the Champions League, you cannot relive defeats, ”says Captain Marquinhos.
First for knight in the Champions League with PSG
Determined to start its group stage with the three points in your pocket and not repeat the slow start of the past season, Luis Enrique should align an eleven fairly classic as a whole. Only the attack, strongly depopulated, should display a less traditional face, with Bradley Barcola expected on the left side and Gonçalo Ramos at the forefront. The last place in the trio could return to Kang-in Lee tried fit by his coach after being hit in the ankle in the last match.
While Lucas Chevalier will make his great first with PSG in the Champions League, the rest of the team should resemble the eleven winner of the final on May 31 against Inter Milan. Left at the disposal of PSG by its selection during the truce, Fabian Ruiz should in particular find a place of holder in the midfield and form the unbeatable Trio alongside João Neves and Vitinha.
The likely composition of PSG: Chevalier – Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Nuno Mendes – João Neves, Vitinha, Ruiz – Lee, Ramos, Boat.
