It’s go again ! After an exciting 2022-23 edition marked by the success of Manchester City, the Champions League makes its comeback this week. This evening, several teams will be on deck. This will be the case for Paris Saint-Germain, which is still chasing a first victory in the premier event. Before we get there, there is a long way to go. It will start this Tuesday evening at 9 p.m. at the Parc des Princes against Borussia Dortmund. For this meeting, Luis Enrique should bet on a 4-3-3.
In the cages, no surprises since Gianluigi Donnarumma will start the game. In front of him, the defensive quartet will be composed, from left to right, of Lucas Hernandez, Milan Skriniar, Marquinhos and Achraf Hakimi. In midfield, the Spaniard intends to rely a priori on Vitinha, Manuel Ugarte and Warren Zaire-Emery. But the Uruguayan is uncertain. In fact, he was affected during training on Monday and he is not sure he will hold his place. In the event of a last minute package, Danilo is ready. Ahead, there is also uncertainty.
Uncertainties on both sides
This does not concern Kylian Mbappé nor Ousmane Dembélé, who will start on the sides, but rather the identity of the player who will play up front. Gonçalo Ramos starts with a head start but Randal Kolo Muani can also be aligned by Luis Enrique. A team that, whatever happens, looks great on paper. Opposite, Borussia Dortmund does not intend to give in and hopes to make a big impact in the French capital. Edin Terzic should bet on a 4-2-3-1, assures the German press this Tuesday. Even if some media are betting more on a 5-3-2. Thus, Gregor Kobel will keep the Dortmund goals.
In front of him, we will find, barring any surprises, Julian Ryerson, Nico Schlotterbeck, Mats Hummels and Marius Wolf. But regarding the latter, Kicker explains that Nicklas Süle could start. To win the middle battle, Emre Can and Marcel Sabitzer will have a lot to do. Finally, to support Niclas Füllkrug in attack, the BVB will rely on the trio (from left to right) Karim Adeyemi-Julian Brandt-Donyell Malen. Note, however, that the German press has doubts regarding the number 9 chosen to start since some think that Sébastien Haller could be preferred to Füllkrug. Regardless, this poster is promising. It will also be followed live on our site with live commentary.
