This Tuesday, Paris Saint-Germain (3rd) faces Sporting Portugal (14th) at the José Alvalade Stadium as part of the 7th matchday of the 2025-2026 Champions League (kick-off at 9 PM, broadcast on Canal+). On Monday evening, Le Parisien suggested a probable Parisian lineup.
Kvaratskhelia – Dembélé – Doué
Ruiz – Vitinha – Zaïre-Emery
Mendes – Pacho – Marquinhos – Zabarnyi
Chevalier.
A quite conceivable team, given the players available and the anticipation surrounding this match. After the small slip-up before the break against Athletic Bilbao (1-1), PSG needs to get back on track quickly to secure its place in the top 8 (with qualification for the round of 16).
Therefore, no particular rotation is expected. The squad management has been planned to be at its best tonight, without neglecting other matches, of course. Now, it remains to be seen what the "starting eleven" for this match could be. It depends on competition in matches and training, as well as the analysis of the opponent to choose the best profiles. There might be a return to an interesting formula seen in the second half against Lille on Friday.
We don't have all the elements, nor do the media. So, we try to guess and remain cautious about what is announced in advance. Certainties will only come with the publication of the official teams (about an hour before the match).
