Offensive choices of circumstance this Sunday evening for Christophe Galtier. Facing Lens (8:45 p.m.), the PSG coach chose to establish the Spaniard Carlos Soler and the Frenchman Hugo Ekitiké on the front of the attack. They numerically replace the absent Lionel Messi, still on vacation, and Neymar, suspended. Pablo Sarabia remains on the bench.
This is the first time this season that Kylian Mbappé has been supported offensively by these two players. Facing the Lensois dolphin, Paris will start in a 4-3-3 system with a trio made up of Fabian Ruiz, Marco Verratti and, surprise, Danilo Pereira in the midfield.
In defense, Achraf Hakimi finds a starting place but in the left lane despite the good performance of young El Chadaille Bitshiabu against the Alsatians this week. While Nordi Mukiele will take the right lane.
Lensois side, Openda, Haidara and Claude-Maurice find a place of holders.
The PSG eleven: Donnarumma – Mukiele, Ramos, Marquinhos (cap.), Hakimi – Ruiz, Danilo, Verratti – Soler – Mbappé, Ekitiké
