PSG v Tottenham: Paris line-up uncertain, doubts in attack | OneFootball

This Wednesday, during the 5th matchday of the league phase of the 2025-2026 Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain (5th) faces Tottenham (10th) at the Parc des Princes (kick-off at 9 PM, broadcast on Canal+). Ahead of this match, the press has tried to predict the team that Parisian coach Luis Enrique will field.

Le Parisien (4-3-3) –

Kvaratskhelia – Mayulu – Barcola

Ruiz – Vitinha – Neves

Mendes – Pacho – Marquinhos – Zaïre-Emery

Chevalier.

L’Equipe (4-3-3) –

Barcola – Kvaratskhelia – Lee

Ruiz – Vitinha – Neves

Mendes – Pacho – Marquinhos – Zaïre-Emery

Chevalier.

Each lineup is plausible, though not certain. Coach Luis Enrique does not give hints to the press, which he knows how to surprise, as well as the opponent or the fans. And that's a good thing. There are doubts in the management of each player (need for rest, confidence, rhythm), competition, and the analysis made with his staff of the opponent's game.

For this match, there are some doubts, especially regarding the number 9, or "false 9" position. Gonçalo Ramos would be a surprise as he struggles to convince as a starter. There's also Senny Mayulu, often starting in the Champions League, but he seems to be somewhat fatigued lately. It could then be Lee Kang-In, who has been in good form recently but hasn't played in this role for a while. L’Equipe suggests Kvaratskhelia, which is not impossible, but he has often been uncomfortable in the center.
