PSG v Marseille: Paris set to start Kvaratskhelia, say reports | OneFootball

This Thursday, during the 2025 Trophée des Champions, Paris Saint-Germain will face Olympique de Marseille at the Jaber Al-Ahmad International Stadium in Kuwait (kick-off at 7:00 pm French time, broadcast on Ligue1+). On the eve of this match, the press has tried to guess the lineup that Parisian coach Luis Enrique will choose.

Le Parisien (4-3-3) –

Kvaratskhelia – Dembélé – Doué

Ruiz – Vitinha – Neves

Mendes – Pacho – Marquinhos – Zaïre-Emery

Chevalier

L’Equipe (4-3-3) –

Kvaratskhelia – Dembélé – Doué

Ruiz – Vitinha – Neves

Mendes – Pacho – Marquinhos – Zaïre-Emery

Each lineup is possible, without being able to be certain about any of them. Luis Enrique does not give away any hints and knows how to keep things secret. We can simply suspect that he will field a very competitive eleven for this match, which is being taken seriously, with a trophy at stake against their rival.

For some positions, the hierarchy is fairly established for now (although competition continues, of course). For others, it’s a bit less clear and the great versatility within the squad inevitably brings doubts. Choices may be made based on a precise analysis of the opponent.

This could be the case between Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Bradley Barcola, who have slightly different qualities. But we can expect to see almost the same team as in the Champions League final, which has been rare since then.

Attention, we must not forget the players’ fitness and the planned management for the Coupe de France Round of 32 on Monday against Paris FC.

It’s difficult to be sure about every detail, so we’ll wait for the official announcement about an hour before the match. There may still be doubts about the exact positioning of some players.
