Paris Saint-Germain faces Atlético de Madrid for its entry into the Club World Cup this Sunday (9 p.m.). Here is the expected composition for the capital's club.
It is the year of all challenges. After Ligue 1, the French Cup and a champions trophy in passing, the Paris Saint-Germain is climbed to the top of Europe to finally register its name in the champions League list. The festivities were intense and moving in the capital, but the heroes of Munich have already crossed the Atlantic to approach their new challenge: the Club World Cup.
Paris will be very favorite for this first edition organized by FIFA. And if other European Cadors (Real Madrid, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, Juventus Turin …) will try to dethrone the European champions, it is another training of the old continent which stands on the road to Parisians for their entry: Atlético de Madrid.
PSG is the king of Europe.
A little air of revenge will travel the Parisian ranks, nine months after a match that had seen the Colchoneros win on the thread against the course of the game, at the Parc des Princes, during the C1 League phase (2-1). For this first match, Luis Enrique must above all deal with a somewhat diminished workforce.
PSG: an attack to be renewed for the start of the Club World Cup
Two players from the French team joined the infirmary during the international break marked by the Final Four of the Nations League: Ousmane Dembélé and Bradley Barcola will not be available for the start of the competition. The 2018 world champion should even miss the entire group stage.
Luis Enrique must therefore renew his offensive sector and does not have a huge margin for this first meeting. Gonçalo Ramos should occupy the axis of the attack with his classic number 9 profile. Désiré Doué and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia are expected to support him. In the other sectors, Paris should be able to count on its living forces. The Portuguese Vitinha, Joao Neves and Nuno Mendes showed that they were in great shape. Fabian Ruiz is also expected, just like Achraf Hakimi or the Central Marquinhos-Pacho hinge in front of Gianluigi Donnarumma.
The expected composition for PSG : DONNARUMMA – Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Nuno Mendes – Vitinha, Joao Neves, Fabian Ruiz – Doué, Ramos, Kvaratskhelia.
