Athletic Bilbao v PSG: Possible Paris line-up and suspension risks | OneFootball

This Wednesday, Paris Saint-Germain (2nd) faces Athletic Bilbao (27th) at the San Mamés Stadium as part of the 6th matchday of the 2025-2026 Champions League (kick-off at 9 PM, broadcast on Canal+). Parisian coach Luis Enrique must choose his starting 11, taking into account the opponent, upcoming matches, and suspension risks, after having formed the Parisian squad for this encounter.

There are always doubts with Luis Enrique, who knows how to surprise everyone amidst the fierce competition and strong ideas. There is at least the "ease" of a Champions League match, which implies that management is thought out to have the most competitive team possible.

Rotation is rather planned for the matches on the side. But there are still many options for this, as there is versatility for several players. Like Senny Mayulu, who could play as a false 9 or left-back if Nuno Mendes is not ready to start. A rather unclear point, as the Portuguese has been able to prepare well, but there is also a lot of caution.

If the Titi drops into defense, Quentin Ndjantou, Lee Kang-In, and Gonçalo Ramos are possibilities up front. But João Neves can play left-back, with Mayulu or Lee in the middle.

Possible Lineup:

Kvaratskhelia – Mayulu – Barcola

Ruiz – Vitinha – Neves

Mendes – Pacho – Marquinhos – Zaïre-Emery

Safonov

Substitutes – James, Marin, Zabarnyi, Lee, Ndjantou, Doué, Mbaye, Ramos

Absent – Chevalier, Beraldo, Hakimi (injury), Dembélé (illness), Hernandez (suspension)

Possible suspension for yellow card: Nuno Mendes. It would be effective for the trip to face Sporting Portugal on January 20th as part of the 7th matchday.
