At the dawn of this meeting, the press tried to guess the team that will be fielded by Parisian coach Luis Enrique and that of his counterpart Diego Simeone.
PSG :
The Parisian (4-3-3) –
Barcola – Lee or Asensio

De Paul – Koke – Barrios
Reinildo – Lenglet – Witsel – Molina -Simeone

Given the players available, each team seems possible but there is not complete certainty for any of them.
On the PSG side, coach Luis Enrique knows how to surprise based on the competition and his analysis of the needs for a specific opponent. Even if a typical team is taking shape little by little, with a huge doubt in the line at the moment. This is perhaps the biggest suspense for tonight between Lee Kang-In and Marco Asensio.
As for Atlético, the absences in defense mean that it will necessarily be a little experimental. It is then difficult to be sure of Simeone's choices, while the rest of the team seems relatively sure. Particularly in attack. Even if he too could opt for a little surprise.
