A qualification to be provided. PSG will try to get its ticket for the round of 16 club World Cup this Monday evening (9 pm) on the occasion of its last group match against the Seattle Sounders, practically eliminated from the competition. A victory would send the European champions to the next round in Atlanta or Philadelphia. To meet this challenge, Luis Enrique opted for a very competitive training.
After aligning a revamped team during the defeat against Botafogo (1-0), the Spanish technician decided to trust his practically type eleven. The main surprise comes from the tenure of Senny Mayulu, possibly in a role of false number 9, a position where he had successfully played at the end of the match against Atlético de Madrid.
Dembélé absent from the match sheet
The attack trio is completed by Désiré Doué and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Disappointing during the first two games, Gonçalo Ramos starts on the bench, just like Bradley Barcola, still a little just to start. As expected, Ousmane Dembélé is not on the match sheet. The staff decided not to take any risks with his top scorer
For the rest, it’s great classic: Gianluigi Donnarumma starts with the Parisian goal. Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Willian Pacho and Nuno Mendes make up the traditional defensive quartet. In the middle, we find João Neves and Fabian Ruiz as relayers, while Vitinha occupies the post of sentry, for the third match in a row in the competition.
The official composition of PSG: Donnarumma – Hakimi, Marquinhos (chap.), Pacho, Nuno Mendes – Neves, Vitinha, Ruiz – Doué, Mayulu, Kvaratskhelia.
