Three days after their elimination in the Champions League against Bayern Munich, PSG finds the daily life of Ligue 1 in Brest. For this 27th day of the French Championship, the Parisian club is moving to the lawn of the Francis-Le Blé stadium this Saturday evening (9 p.m.) with a somewhat reorganized team.
In the absence of Marquinhos, Achraf Hakimi, Nordi Mukiele and Presnel Kimpembe, injured, Christophe Galtier has decided to field a defense composed, from right to left, of Timothée Pembélé, Danilo Pereira, Sergio Ramos and Nuno Mendes. El Chadaille Bitshiabu, victim of a crutch during the defeat in Munich, starts on the substitutes’ bench.
In midfield, we note the return of Carlos Soler in the starting lineup of PSG. The Spaniard had not started a meeting since the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League against Bayern Munich (0-1) on February 14. He will be accompanied by Marco Verratti, Fabian Ruiz and Warren Zaire-Emery, who is rewarded for his good entries. The Portuguese Vitinha is left to rest and starts on the bench of substitutes.
In attack, no surprise, we find the doublet made up of Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé who inherited the captain’s armband in the absence of Marquinhos, absent for at least ten days due to intercostal pain.
The composition of PSG: Donnarumma – Pembélé, Danilo Pereira, Sergio Ramos, Nuno Mendes – Soler, Verratti, Zaïre-Emery, Fabian Ruiz – Messi, Mbappé (cap.)
