This Tuesday, Paris Saint-Germain (15th) faces Arsenal (16th) at the Emirates Stadium on behalf of the 2nd day of the 2024-2025 Champions League (kick-off at 9 p.m., broadcast on Canal+Foot). On the eve of the match, The team put forward a probable Parisian team.
Barcola – Asensio or Kolo Muani – Dembélé
Ruiz – Neves – Zaïre-Emery
Nuno Mendes – Pacho – Marquinhos – Hakimi
Donnarumma.
The sports newspaper suggests the possibility of choices made for the size of players, such as Fabian Ruiz and Kolo Muani, given Arsenal’s strength on set pieces. This cannot be ruled out, nor is it particularly likely.
Coach Luis Enrique has not shown since his arrival or in his career that this point is a major criterion. Not to mention that size does not guarantee winning aerial duels. Ruiz is therefore not particularly efficient in this area.
The Parisian team will undoubtedly be built above all to play and try to prevent Arsenal from advancing on the pitch. Ruiz could play, especially if Vitinha is not 100%. Finally, we note that Lee Kang-In is not offered as a false 9, although he was excellent against Rennes. Asensio is coming back from injury, nothing says he will go ahead.
