This time, there is urgency at Paris Saint-Germain. Twenty-fifth in the league phase rankings in C1, the capital club finds itself virtually eliminated from the play-offs. And no luck for Luis Enrique’s men, their schedule is hellish. This evening, they must win at Bayern Munich, but they will also have to face Manchester City. Two XXL shocks in four matches which could largely undermine Parisian plans.
Condemned to the feat in Bavaria to climb the rankings, even if a defeat would not be eliminatory, the reigning French champions are eagerly awaited. Will they finally have character against a big arm on the European scene after sinking at the Emirates against Arsenal? Difficult to know before kick-off. In the meantime, what is certain is that Luis Enrique should offer us a very classic starting eleven.
Classic on both sides
Despite the good performances of the Russian Matvey Safonov, it is Gianluigi Donnarumma who should keep the Ile-de-France cage. In front of him, a usual four-man defense consisting of Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Willian Pacho and Nuno Mendes. In the midfield, again no surprises. The Warren Zaire-Emery-Vitinha-João Neves trio should be aligned behind an attack led by Bradley Barcola and Ousmane Dembélé and where Kang-in Lee could start at the expense of Marco Asensio.
Opposite, Vincent Kompany should also bring out the big team. Seventeenth in the standings, after two victories and two defeats, Bayern Munich also needs to refresh its icing, because the Bavarians are aiming for the top 8. Kompany should therefore field a typical eleven, even if he will not be able to not count on the Portuguese Palhinha. Neuer will be there in goal, with Guerreiro, Upamecano, Kim-min Jae and Davies in defense. The midfield should be made up of the Kimmich-Goretzka pair in recovery. On the wings, Olise and Coman with Musiala at the heart of the game and the inevitable Kane at the forefront.
