Make way for the quarterfinals of the Club World Cup. After having released Inter Miami without difficulty in the previous round, PSG faces an old acquaintance this time: Bayern Munich. Falmery for its part of Flamengo, the German club advances a little masked in this competition which saw him inflict a 10-0 on Auckland lovers in the first match, but also to lose 1-0 against Benfica. This is a first real test in this competition for the very recent European champion, beaten last fall for his future opponent (1-0).
Lots of water has flowed under the bridges from this reverse at the Allianz Arena. It was then the 3rd defeat of PSG during the championship phase of the Champions League. All the lights were then red and yet, six months later it was this same team that won the first C1 in its history, and in this same stadium. We should also find the same starting eleven which beat Inter Milan in the final during the kick -off this evening (6 p.m.). Donnarumma will start in goals with his usual defense: Hakimi and Nuno Mendes on the wings between the Marquinhos-Pacho pair.
Dembélé back in the eleven?
Vitinha should again take place in front of the defense, associated with Joao Neves, double scorer against Miami, and Fabian Ruiz. A slight doubt remains all the same for Spanish, victim of a small virus during the week. He stayed at the hotel Thursday as a precaution but was off to take his place at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. In front of, Ousmane Dembélé finally postulates a place of holder, he who found the competition during the 8th finals. He would start in a point with gifted on his right and Kvara on his left, this time leaving Barcola on the bench.
Bayern will resemble the winning team of Flamengo. Neuer is expected in the goals with a defense at 4 composed from right to left Laimer, Upamecano, Tah and Stanisic. Kimmich and Goretzka are expected in the midfield to have the role of double pivot. In terms of animation, there could be some changes. Touched in the final of the finals, Coman would still be able to hold his rank. Olise would be a holder on the left and we could find Musiala. Back from injury and replacing since the start of the competition, he is expected to be in support of Kane, to the detriment of Gnabry.
