PSG: The probable line-up against Newcastle, with great uncertainty

Manhandled and finally clearly beaten by Newcastle almost two months ago (4-1), Paris Saint-Germain intends to take their revenge this Tuesday evening at the Parc des Princes, on the occasion of the 5th and penultimate day of the group stage of the Champions League. A meeting for which Luis Enrique will be deprived of five elements: Keylor Navas, Presnel Kimpembe, Nuno Mendes, Warren Zaire-Emery and Marquinhos.

Therefore, the Spanish technician should more or less trust the same eleven as the one who won against Monaco on Friday evening (5-2). Gianluigi Donnarrumma should thus keep the cage, with in front of him a four-man defense composed of Achraf Hakimi, Milan Skriniar, Lucas Hernandez and Nordi Mukiele, according to information from the daily L’Equipe.

Kolo Muani prefers Ramos?

In the midfield, Manuel Ugarte should be surrounded by Vitinha and Fabian Ruiz, excellent against ASM. On the other hand, in attack, doubt remains. Substitute this weekend and started during the first four days of C1, Kolo Muani is tipped to start against the Magpies at the expense of Gonçalo Ramos. At a press conference this Monday, Luis Enrique even suggested that Bradley Barcola and Marco Asensio could occupy this number 9 position.

“I have them both (Kolo Muani and Gonçalo Ramos) but also Barcola and Asensio who can play number 9indicated the Parisian coach at a press conference. It’s a chance to have four days of high level. Some may also play in the hallways. The quality of a coach is to find positive points in these choices of players. Gonçalo and Kolo Muani have different characteristics. I also like to see Barcola 9 play, he can help us. »
