Star Wars. This evening, the Parc des Princes will be the scene of the clash of the titans between Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich. Title holders, Marquinhos’ teammates want to dream bigger and achieve a double in the Champions League. Opposite, the Recorder wants to put an end to the Ile-de-France hegemony and pocket a new title in the most beautiful of European competitions. To achieve this, Vincent Kompany intends to field a large team. But the Belgian must do without several injured elements, namely Serge Gnabry, Raphaël Guerreiro, Lennart Karl and Tom Bischof.
Despite everything, the German club, which should start in 4-2-3-1, will field a high quality eleven. In the cages, no surprises since veteran Manuel Neuer will be there. The people of Munich hope that he will have regained his confidence after having been little to his advantage in the quarter-final second leg against Real Madrid. To protect him, he will be able to count on Konrad Laimer, Jonathan Tah, Dayot Upamecano and Josip Stanisic. A quartet that will have a lot to do to contain the Parisian assaults. To win the midfield battle, Kompany will rely on the Pavlovic-Kimmich duo.
Luis Enrique and Kompany are preparing something heavy
Finally, Luis Diaz, Jamal Musiala and Michael Olise will support the tireless Harry Kane, aligned at the forefront of the Munich attack. In the opposite camp, Luis Enrique, who assured that no team is better than Paris Saint-Germain, will also bring out the heavy artillery. Especially since he will be able to count on practically his entire group, apart from Quentin Ndjantou who is still too tight. An uncertain time, Vitinha will be there and he is even expected in the starting eleven, which should be structured in 4-3-3. In the cages, mass is said for Lucas Chevalier. The Frenchman will start again on the bench, since Matvey Safonov is still preferred.
The Russian, designated as PSG’s weak point in Germany, will have a great opportunity to respond on the pitch. In defense, no change since Nuno Mendes, Willian Pacho, Marquinhos and Achraf Hakimi will be present at kick-off. The Moroccan will have a nice revenge to take, he who was injured by Luis Diaz during the championship phase last November. In the middle, Lucho will do the classic with João Neves, Vitinha and Warren Zaire-Emery. Having recently returned, Fabian Ruiz will start on the bench. Ditto for Bradley Barcola, since it is the Kvaratskhelia-Dembélé-Doué trio which should start in the clash to be followed live on our site at 9 p.m.
