A doubt is hoping a few hours before the shock between Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain, in the semi-final go to the Champions League. On the Parisian side, Luis Enrique should renew his usual eleven, but an uncertainty remains: who will occupy the right corridor of the attack, Bradley Barcola or Désiré Doué?

For Daniel Riolo, columnist on RMCthe choice is not debated. On the set of theAfter Footthe editorialist clearly took a position in favor of the native of Angers.

“I prefer what gifted in the field, it's been months since I said. Barcola is faster and has qualities of counterattack, but in control of the ball and collective control, I prefer what GoutĂ©s offer. It is he that I would start ”, judged the polemicist.

A talented bet at 50 million euros

Holder at the outward journey to Aston Villa (3-1), Goué had distinguished himself by opening the scoring with a clear strike near the surface. He then started the return match on the bench.

As a reminder, the versatile attacking midfielder joined the Parisian ranks this summer from the Stade Rennais for an amount of 50 million euros, excluding bonus. It has a current contract until June 2029.
