Paris Saint-Germain travels to San Siro to face AC Milan this Tuesday evening for the 4th day of the Champions League group stage. Here is the expected lineup for the Parisians.
At the heart of this reconstruction season, the Luis Enrique version of Paris Saint-Germain has perhaps found its cruising speed. All the lights are not yet green, but the Spaniard is making progress on his project. More constant in its proposals, its team is riding a series of 4 consecutive victories in all competitions. A beautiful sequence which has some relief thanks to the gala victory obtained against AC Milan at the Parc des Princes, two weeks ago (3-0).
It is therefore with full confidence that the French champions return to Milan for their second round at San Siro, this Tuesday evening (kick-off at 9 p.m.). A second success would allow PSG to get one foot into the round of 16 before their last two group matches against Newcastle and Dortmund. We will still have to find the right formula in terms of animation.
2 strong decisions from Luis Enrique
What will Luis Enrique’s choices be for this important meeting? Will the PSG coach keep a system with 3 midfielders or will he return to a system with 4 professional attackers? Everything suggests that the Spaniard should stay on the first option. Because two players have emerged to complete the midfielder alongside Manuel Ugarte and Warren Zaire-Emery. If Kang-in Lee clearly scored points, the South Korean could be spared to make room for a return from Vitinha.
The other uncertainty concerns the center forward position, where Gonçalo Ramos and Randal Kolo Muani are still acclimatizing. The balance would tip in favor of the Frenchman. For the rest, the usual frameworks are expected. Ousmane Dembélé is recovering and Kylian Mbappé will continue. Behind, Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Milan Skriniar and Lucas Hernandez are also expected.
The expected lineup for PSG : Donnarumma – Hakimi, Marquinhos, Skriniar, L. Hernandez – Ugarte, Zaire-Emery – Dembélé, Vitinha (or Kang-in Lee) – Mbappé, G. Ramos (or Kolo Muani).
