The verdict fell! Here is the composition of a team from Paris Saint-Germain for the semi-final go to the Champions League on the Arsenal field this Tuesday evening.
Luis Enrique has generally remained faithful to his principles, not deviating from his faithful 4-3-3. In defense, it's classic. In the middle too, since Fabian Ruiz clearly took the ascendancy on Warren Zaïre-Emery. And in attack?
Barcola, the great victim
There were choices to make, and the Parisian coach opted for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Désiré Doué, who will support the now unavoidable Ousmane Dembélé in attack. In this story, the great victim is therefore Bradley Barcola.
The former Lyonnais was already replacing to kick off during the last two championship matches, in Nantes (1-1) and against Nice (1-3), and his entries were not transcendent. More significant, his playing time during the quarter -final against Aston Villa: 18 minutes to go, and only 58 minutes on the return, before giving way to a Doué who had brought security on the technical level. The ex-Rennais has taken over his teammate in recent weeks.
