The first trends are emerging for the composition of Paris Saint-Germain for the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League against Real Sociedad.
What will Luis Enrique do? On the eve of the Champions League round of 16 first leg between Paris Saint-Germain and Real Sociedad, Le Parisien delivers this Tuesday evening the trends in the capital club’s team composition.
Barring any drama, Luis Enrique should renew the 4-3-3 which has worked well in recent weeks, notably with the explosive trio formed by Bradley Barcola, Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé. Gonçalo Ramos should start on the bench, just like Randal Kolo Muani, who had started all six matches in the group stage. But since then, the former Nantes player has been somewhat downgraded.
Fabian Ruiz holder?
In midfield, it is in this sector that we find the most uncertainty. According to Le Parisien, Fabian Ruiz, who has been starting for five matches, should be associated with Vitinha and the essential Warren Zaire-Emery. Manuel Ugarte would therefore be a replacement, as would Marco Asensio.
In defense, with the numerous absences, Luis Enrique has few options. To avoid sending the young Brazilian Lucas Beraldo to the fire, it is Danilo Pereira who should support Marquinhos in the central hinge.
