PSG v Newcastle: Paris line-up set to include Hakimi! | OneFootball

This Wednesday, Paris Saint-Germain (6th) will face Newcastle (7th) at the Parc des Princes as part of the 8th matchday of the 2025-2026 Champions League (kick-off at 9pm, broadcast on Canal+). On Tuesday evening, Le Parisien suggested a likely Parisian lineup.

Barcola – Dembélé – Kvaratskhelia

Ruiz – Vitinha – Zaïre-Emery

Mendes – Pacho – Marquinhos – Hakimi

This is a perfectly plausible lineup, as no rotation is expected for a match that must be won in order to secure a place in the round of 16 with a victory. PSG has already used up its lifelines against Athletic Bilbao and Sporting Portugal, so now it’s time to get that crucial win. However, there are still some doubts given the level of competition.

Coach Luis Enrique does not reveal his choices to the press, so caution is advised. Especially since the versatility so valued by the Spaniard means several combinations are possible. We’ll have to wait to know the final choices, which will also depend on the analysis of the opponent. Not to mention the uncertainty surrounding the returns of Fabian Ruiz and Achraf Hakimi, even though their inclusion in the starting lineup is hoped for.
