This time, PSG no longer has a choice. While it only has four points and a meager victory – in the opening against Girona – after the first five days, the capital club must indeed win in Salzburg on Tuesday, on the occasion of the sixth day of the group stage. A further poor performance would undoubtedly deal a fatal blow to their hopes of qualification.
To win, PSG, which has only scored one meager goal in its last three matches, will finally have to (re)find the spark in attack. A task which promises to be all the more complicated for the French champions as they will have to cope without Ousmane Dembélé, suspended following his red card received during his trip to Munich. In his absence, Luis Enrique should line up Kang-in Lee in the right lane while Gonçalo Ramos should start in the center and Bradley Barcola on the left. An attacking trio lined up last Friday at Auxerre with many chances but not the slightest goal…
Donnarumma started in goals
The rest of the composition should be classic since Vitinha, Joao Neves and Warren Zaire-Emery are expected to start in midfield while in defense, Pacho and Marquinhos should be associated in the central hinge with, at their side, Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes. Finally, in goal, left on the bench during the trip to Bayern Munich, Gianluigi Donnarumma should regain his starting place.
The probable line-up against Salzburg: Donnarumma – Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes – Neves, Vitinha, Zaire-Emery – Lee, Ramos, Barcola.
