Paris Saint-Germain faces Real Madrid in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup this Wednesday (9 p.m.). Here is the expected composition for the capital's club.
After his magnificent coronation in the Champions League, the Paris Saint-Germain is two games to enter the pantheon of the greatest. Lifting the trophy of the first edition of the World Cup club would be a masterful performance for the capital's club, after a Homeric season.
But Parisians have to overcome two obstacles, starting with Real Madrid by Kylian Mbappé this Wednesday evening (kick -off at 9 p.m.). A final before the time they approach with a remained defense.
Luis Enrique deprived of two frames before the shock against real
The expulsions of Willian Pacho and Lucas Hernandez at the end of the match against Bayern Munich (2-0) forced Luis Enrique to upset his defensive sector. The PSG coach has no margin: Lucas Beraldo, the only valid central defender and at least experienced at this level, will start alongside his compatriot Marquinhos. And this will still be the case in the final if the Parisians qualify since Pacho and Hernandez received a very severe suspension – two games by FIFA.
A strong choice to attack
There is therefore no suspense for the defense aligned this Wednesday evening, while the opponent of the Parisians will also be reduced behind with the suspension of Dean Huijsen. It is in attack that Luis Enrique will have to decide. Author of a shattering entry against Bayern, Ousmane Dembélé should this time find his place in the eleven. While these cleaner matches offer Parisian scorer a final opportunity to make an impression on the race for the Ballon d'Or France Football, it seems difficult to imagine that the world champion is once again going from the bench against Real.
But it is a luxury that Luis Enrique could still consider as his attackers seem to arrive at their peak in the tournament. Khvicha KVaratskhelia is untenable, Bradley Barcola also shone against the Bavarians and Désiré Doué, who had more waste, was still decisive. Gifted and “Kvara” hold the rope for the moment. Nevergical point of the team, the Joao Neves-Vitinha-Fabian Ruiz trio is obvious in the middle.
The expected composition for PSG : Donnarumma – Hakimi, Marquinhos, Beraldo, Nuno Mendes – Joao Neves, Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz – Doué, Dembélé, Kvaratskhelia.
