What will be the starting lineup for PSG? Here is the eleven against Real Sociedad as reported by the press.
After winning the first leg (2-0), PSG will seek qualification for the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals against Real Sociedad. PSG has not managed to qualify at this stage of the competition since 2021.
Presnel Kimpembe, Milan Skriniar, and Marco Asensio are absent. In defense, the choice between Lucas Beraldo, Marquinhos, or Danilo in the center will depend on their physical condition, with Lucas Hernandez or Nuno Mendes as the left-back.
There are also uncertainties regarding Marquinhos’ participation in the starting eleven due to suboptimal sensations during training. Thus, the final lineup could see Danilo Pereira and Lucas Beraldo forming the central defense, with Lucas Hernandez on the left flank, according to L’Équipe’s indications.
Doubts in midfield and defense
In midfield, Le Parisien suggests that three players could potentially accompany Warren Zaïre-Emery and Vitinha. Manuel Ugarte, Lee Kang-in, and Fabian Ruiz are in contention. However, the Spaniard is expected to start. In attack, there is no doubt: it will be Ousmane Dembélé, Kylian Mbappé, and Bradley Barcola.
