After Ligue 1, the French Cup, the prestigious Champions League and the most anecdotal Champions Trophy, Paris Saint-Germain has the opportunity to enter history by winning a fifth title this season.
The capital's club faces Chelsea in the final of the first edition of the Club World Cup organized by FIFA, this Sunday evening, in New York (kick -off at 9 p.m. French time). An event that the heroes of Munich approach with great concentration.
An exceptional team.
Luis Enrique will still be deprived of two major players in his defensive sector since Willian Pacho and Lucas Hernandez, excluded in the quarter-finals against Bayern Munich (2-0), returned to Europe after having received two suspension games.
Authority gifted in attack
There will therefore be no suspense in defense. Lucas Beraldo, author of a solid performance against Real Madrid (4-0), will be renewed alongside his compatriot and captain Marquinhos. The tireless Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes will hold their place on the sides.
In the midfield, the trio Joao Neves-Vitinha-Fabian Ruiz, which is today one of the great forces of this PSG, will also chain. It is in attack that there remains a place to be distributed since 4 elements apply for three places. The presence of Ousmane Dembélé in the axis is ensured, just like that of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia on the left. The surprise concerns the right side more, where Désiré Doué and Bradley Barcola, both in great shape, are in balance. The old Rennais would hold the rope and could leave its place at the time of play, as against Inter Milan, where he had particularly shone.
The expected composition for PSG : Donnarumma – Hakimi, Marquinhos, Beraldo, Nuno Mendes – Joao Neves, Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz – DouĂ©, DembĂ©lĂ©, Kvaratskhelia.
