Luis Enrique can tell us that he is only thinking about the next match, but sometimes we struggle to believe him. On Saturday evening, at the Parc des Princes, the Spanish coach certainly enjoyed an almost perfect evening by winning against Strasbourg (4-2) and preserving his team ahead of the important match against PSV Eindhoven.
After the close win at home against Girona (1-0, 18 September) and the defeat against Arsenal (2-0, 1 October), his team is forced to win this Tuesday in the third matchday of the Champions League while still three important shocks to play (Atlético Madrid, Bayern Munich and Manchester City). Against the Dutch he will be able to count on four players saved. Rest easy, Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos and Nuno Mendes. In defense, Willian Pacho holds the rope to support them, as has happened in the first two C1 games this season.
In the middle there is only one question. Who will start, Fabian Ruiz or Joao Neves? More mobile and very resistant, the Portuguese seems to have taken a step forward compared to the Spaniard in recent weeks and could be deployed this Tuesday. Also expected to accompany one of the two are Vitinha, Luis Enrique’s true metronome, and Warren Zaire-Emery.
In view, Kang-in Lee’s presence at the press conference this Monday in no way means that he will play from the start against PSV. Ousmane Dembélé should start on the right, rested on Friday, as should Bradley Barcola on the other side. In the false nine the South Korean is tied with Marco Asensio who played 59 minutes against RCSA on Saturday evening.
The probable composition of PSG: Donnarumma – Hakimi, Marquinhos (cap.), Pacho, Nuno Mendes – Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, Joao Neves – Dembélé, Asensio, Barcola.
