Paris is magical and wants to remain so. In recent weeks, the training overseen by Luis Enrique has been in line with good results and above all impresses everyone, whether on the French scene as in the Champions League. After having erased the Brest obstacle without problem during the dams, the champions of France will face one of the big pieces of the competition: Liverpool. First of the class during the championship phase of this new C1, the Reds have long seemed untouchable while practicing attractive football under the orders of Arne Slot, which has perfectly able to settle in the seat left vacant by Jürgen Klopp. But the Dutchman expects a very disputed meeting against Paris Saint-Germain, which will play this act I in the French capital.

To be the princes of the park tonight, the Marquinhos teammates will have a lot to do. But they are in full confidence and success. What reassure Luis Enrique, which should bet on a 4-3-3. In the cages, no suspense since it is Gianluigi Donnarumma who will be established. In front of him, we will find a defensive quartet composed, from left to right, of Nuno Mendes, Willian Pacho, Marquinhos and Achraf Hakimi. To win the environment, “Lucho” should do without Warren Zaïre-Emery, freshly returned from injury. It is a priori a trio Fabian Ruiz, Vitinha and João Neves who should start the game against the Mersey club.

Duel from a distance between Dembélé and Salah

In front, the Asturian should trust Ousmane Dembélé, aligned in the tip. The latter is also the most dreaded player on the Parisian side by the English. To support him, Bradley Barcola (and not “broccoli” as called a Reds fan), on the left, and desired gifted, on the right, hold the rope. But the KHVICHA KVAratskhelia option should not be discarded. Arrived during the last winter transfer window, the Georgian, desired by Luis Enrique, will have his say. Opposite, Arne Slot should opt for a 4-2-3-1. To keep the goals, he will rely on the experienced Alisson Becker. The defense will be made up of Andrew Robertson, Virgil Van Dijk, Ibrahima Konaté and Trent Alexander-Arnold. All will have a lot to do to muzzle Parisian attackers.

In the midfield, the Alexis Mac Allister-ryan Gravenberch pair will be on the baguette. In front, Luis Diaz, Dominik Szoboszlai and the unstoppable Mohamed Salah will be associated. The Egyptian is particularly feared by PSG, who knows that he is capable of everything when he has already scored 30 goals and delivered 22 assists in 39 matches in all competitions this season. Figures that make you dizzy. Salah, who is currently the favorite in the Golden Ball 2025 race, knows that he will have to release the big game this evening, the one who will have the mission of supporting Diogo Jota, aligned with a point, in order to unravel the Ile -de -France lock and find the path of the nets during this first act in the French capital. A shock of the promises Titans!
