As always, caution is needed since the coaches do not leak hints to the media. Coach Luis Enrique is particularly good at keeping his choices secret, sometimes with major surprises in the end. Still, it is reasonable to think that some form of first-choice team will start tonight. Which still leaves some doubts.

There is very strong competition within PSG, along with well-established versatility. So it is difficult to predict. Especially at this start of the season, when the players have not yet really been able to establish themselves in this European competition. Hernandez starting in central defense would be a first and a slight surprise, but Willian Pacho has also looked a little less impressive lately, even if there was improvement against Monaco. But nothing seems impossible.

So we are waiting for the official lineup announcement, around an hour before the match, to have certainty.
