Paris Saint-Germain are one game away from qualifying for a second consecutive Champions League final. Title holders, Luis Enrique’s men won at home against Bayern Munich last Tuesday, in the semi-final first leg (5-4). For the return scheduled for Wednesday evening, the Parisian club revealed its squad. Injured, Achraf Hakimi will still make the trip to support his teammates.
The list of twenty-three players selected for this decisive meeting was revealed this Tuesday. No big surprises overall. All operational executives are present. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Marquinhos, Vitinha and Ousmane Dembélé are there.
On the goalkeeper side, Matvey Safonov is also there. Spared last weekend during the draw conceded against Lorient (2-2, 32nd day of Ligue 1), the Russian goalkeeper is not the only goalkeeper to be part of the group. Indeed, and this is the only bit of unexpected news, three other goalkeepers will go to Munich. In addition to Renato Marin, young Bilal Laurendon (20 years old) and Arthur Vignaud (18 years old) are present.
Achraf Hakimi present in the stands for Bayern-PSG
For Achraf Hakimi, it is still not a question of playing. Hit in the right thigh during the first leg against Bayern, the Moroccan full-back is therefore not in the group. On the other hand, and as confirmed by RMC, he will make the trip to Bavaria to support his teammates.
And he will not be the only resident of the Parisian infirmary to go there since Lucas Chevalier and Quentin Ndjantou will also be in the stands of the Allianz Arena. After a fiery semi-final, the public hopes to witness a new offensive recital. It remains to be seen what the defenses will be able to offer given the quality of the opposing attackers.
