PSG’s rotation shows two teams, one for the league and one for Europe | OneFootball

PSG asserted their Ligue 1 dominance last season while rotating heavily, fielding a domestic side markedly different from the one that won the Champions League.

According to L'Équipe, injuries early on, then Luis Enrique’s deliberate rotation, shaped a campaign that underlined Paris’s resources and priorities.

Paris have room to manoeuvre and can treat the league as a platform for squad players.

As last season, players tagged as back-ups, notably Warren Zaïre-Emery and Lucas Beraldo, should take leading roles in Ligue 1.

Among the 11 most frequent league starters under Luis Enrique last season, only three began the Champions League final against Arsenal. It ended 1-1, then 4-3 on penalties, and those starters were Willian Pacho, Vitinha and Khvitcha Kvaratskhelia.
