PSG is gearing up for its decisive match against Real Sociedad, shaping up the lineup for the crucial encounter.
Danilo summed it up well: Saturday’s match between PSG and Lille is causing a real headache for Luis Enrique. Several bench players have shown promise, such as Asensio, Kolo Muani, and Fabian Ruiz. The Spanish coach will have to make some tough decisions to form his starting eleven.
At the back, the uncertainty lies between Danilo and Lucas Hernandez. Will the Frenchman play in the center or on the side? In midfield, there’s a competition between Ruiz, Asensio, and Vitinha for the third spot. The other two midfield positions are likely to be filled by Zaïre Emery and Ugarte.
Upfront, there’s little doubt. Mbappé, Dembélé, and Barcola are set to start.
Here’s the probable PSG lineup against Real Sociedad for the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16:
Donnarumma – Hakimi, Marquinhos, Danilo, Hernandez – Ugarte, Zaïre Emery, Vitinha – Mbappé, Dembélé, Barcola.
