Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique Lyonnais face each other in the Coupe de France final this Saturday (9 p.m.). Here is the expected line-up for the capital club.
Luis Enrique has an even more developed counterfoot art than that of his dribblers. Accustomed to surprising observers with his team compositions all season, the Spanish coach killed the suspense over the use of Kylian Mbappé. While the hypothesis of seeing on the bench gained weight, Luis Enrique was cash: yes, Kylian Mbappé will play for this Coupe de France final against Lyon, this Saturday (9 p.m.). Better still, the world champion will even be the starter. “ Of course“, Luis Enrique retorted to these two questions, not without having fun with the situation.
“ The involvement of all the players was perfect, explained the Asturian. I think the credit goes not to me, but to the match we play tomorrow, because it’s a final. There will be two supporters’ corners, 90 minutes and a possible extra time, it’s always a special match. I’m delighted with what I see in training, all the players have the right attitude. »
PSG with what looks like its typical team
In addition to the Mbappé case, there is also the question of the tenure of Ousmane Dembélé. Kylian Mbappé’s accomplice was present alongside the striker in Cannes at the start of the week. But it seems difficult to imagine Luis Enrique without him for such an important match. Dembélé should start alongside Barcola, who will return to his former club.
For the rest, there will be no major surprises to expect in the Parisian eleven, even if nothing can be ruled out with Luis Enrique. Warren Zaire-Emery is expected in the middle with Vitinha and Fabian Ruiz. In the central hinge, it is Lucas Beraldo who holds the rope to support captain Marquinhos. Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes will start on the sides. Gianluigi Donnarumma will take his place in the Parisian goals.
The expected lineup for PSG : Donnarumma – Hakimi, Marquinhos, Beraldo, Nuno Mendes – Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, Ruiz – Dembélé, Mbappé, Barcola.
