Chelsea v PSG: Paris line-up tipped to include Kvaratskhelia, Doué left out | OneFootball

This Tuesday, Paris Saint-Germain faces Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the context of the second leg of the round of 16 (PSG won 5-2 in the first leg) of the 2025-2026 Champions League (kick-off at 9 PM, broadcast on Canal+). On Monday evening, Le Parisien suggested a probable Parisian lineup.

Barcola – Dembélé – Kvaratskhelia

Neves – Vitinha – Zaïre-Emery

Mendes – Pacho – Marquinhos – Hakimi

Safonov.

A very credible team, as it matches the first leg and the players' current form. There could still be surprises, as the Parisian coach Luis Enrique does not provide indications to the press and knows how to prepare a strong idea. Not to mention the fierce daily competition that we cannot observe.

We will therefore wait for certainties with the official announcement about an hour before the match. Even though we can form a good idea of the starting lineup. Désiré Doué might well be on the bench, given his teammates' performances. However, his contribution against pressing and in defensive efforts in the first leg should not be underestimated. This could lead to a starting position in the midfield, especially as Warren Zaïre-Emery is struggling physically due to consecutive matches.
