This Friday, as part of the 12th day of Ligue 1 2024-2025, Paris Saint-Germain (1st) faces Toulouse (10th) at Princes Park (kick-off at 9 p.m., broadcast on DAZN). At the dawn of this meeting, the press tried to guess the team that will be fielded by Parisian coach Luis Enrique.
PSG –
Le Parisien and L’Equipe (4-3-3):
Barcola – Asensio – Dembélé
Ruiz – Vitinha – Zaïre-Emery
Beraldo – Pacho – Skriniar – Hakimi
Donnarumma
Given the group, this team seems possible. But there are no more certainties than usual. Luis Enrique does not give information to the press and he knows how to surprise. We see this regularly enough to be wary of these attempts by the media.
It's all the more difficult here as the players have very different states of fitness after the break, between playing and travel times which vary. There would be logic in relying especially on those who remained in Paris during the truce.
But everyone must get back into rhythm and get back into the PSG season, with Ligue 1 where we have to continue and the Champions League which returns on Tuesday. It will be a difficult trip to face Bayern Munich. Which also requires managing organizations.
Added to all this puzzle is the analysis made by Luis Enrique and his staff of the opponent. Let's wait until tonight to be sure.
Toulouse –
Le Parisien and L’Equipe (3-4-3):
Ghobo – King – Aboukhal
Suazo – Sierro – Casseres – Donnum
McKenzie – Cresswell – Sidibé
Remains.
On the Toulouse side also the two newspapers are in agreement and this is relatively logical, since it is the typical Toulouse team which has emerged this season. Be careful though of possible fatigue from internationals, like McKenzie.
