Paris Saint-Germain remains on two Champions League successes. Winner in 2025 and 2026, the capital club hopes to make it three. But the road will once again be very long to reach the final which will be played on June 5 at the Estadio Metropolitano in Madrid. It will all start this evening at the Parc des Princes with the reception of Slovan Bratislava on the first day of the championship phase. On paper, PSG is the clear favorite. But the Ile-de-France team encountered some small difficulties at the start of the season.
Luis Enrique is therefore counting on his troops to move forward. This evening, he will be able to count on his entire group except Alessandro Longoni (injured). The Spanish technician should therefore rely on his classic 4-3-3, with a few adjustments compared to the last match. Despite several goals conceded, Matvey Safonov will start as a starter. In front of him, we should find a four-man defense. Nuno Mendes, Lucas Hernandez, Marquinhos and Warren Zaire-Emery are expected to start the match. In midfield, Lucho should line up his starting midfielder.
Luis Enrique will make some adjustments
Thus, Fabian Ruiz, Vitinha and João Neves are expected from kick-off to win the midfield battle. As for the offensive sector, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia will occupy the left wing as he knows how to do so well. The versatile Ferran Torres will play on the right wing. Both will have the mission of supporting Ousmane Dembélé, who will occupy the position of attacker. An eleven with a few small tweaks but which looks pretty good. Opposite, Slovan Bratislava knows that it will take a big game to shake up the title holders.
Yaya Touré, who leads this training, should count on his entire group. The former midfielder will a priori opt for a 4-3-3 this evening. In front of Dominik Takac, who will keep the cages, we will find the Cruz-Bajric-Markovic-Blackman quartet. In the heart of the game, Rahim Ibrahim, Peter Pokorny and Cristian Martinez will be in charge. Finally, the attack will be led by the Camara-Sporar-Barseghian trio. This introduction to PSG, which is obviously highly anticipated, will be followed from 9 p.m. live on our site with live commentary.
