Sporting Portugal v PSG: Possible Paris line-up and suspension risks | OneFootball

This Tuesday, Paris Saint-Germain (3rd) faces Sporting Portugal (14th) at the José Alvalade Stadium as part of Matchday 7 of the 2025-2026 Champions League (kick-off at 9:00 PM, broadcast on Canal+). Parisian coach Luis Enrique must choose his starting 11, taking into account the opponent, upcoming matches, and the risk of suspension, after having assembled the Parisian squad for this match.

It is always difficult to anticipate all of Luis Enrique’s choices, even if it’s a bit “simpler” in the Champions League since we suspect the main focus is on being competitive. The rotation has been planned with this in mind, with more turnovers happening in other matches. Especially since PSG dropped 2 points in Bilbao (1-1) in the previous round and is looking to secure its place in the top 8 as quickly as possible (with qualification for the round of 16).

Now, it’s a matter of accurately estimating the “typical team” amid competition and versatility. Some players seem to be certainties, but there is often an attacking dilemma between Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Bradley Barcola. Warren Zaïre-Emery could also have a say in midfield. Not to mention the goalkeeper position, which is sparking many discussions.

Possible lineup:

Barcola – Dembélé – Kvaratskhelia

Ruiz – Vitinha – Doué

Mendes – Pacho – Marquinhos – Zaïre-Emery

Chevalier

Substitutes – Marin, James, Beraldo, Zabarnyi, Mayulu, Nsoki, Ramos.

Unavailable – Lee, Ndjantou, Neves, Safonov (injury), Hakimi, Mbaye (rest), Hernandez (suspended). Possible suspension for yellow card: Nuno Mendes. This would be effective for the home match against Newcastle on January 8 as part of Matchday 8.
