PSG and Metz faced each other this Saturday for the 16th round of the French Championship. Despite being in a tight race for the top of the table with Lens, Paris Saint-Germain took to the field with a mixed team. Thinking about the next game, against Flamengo, for the Intercontinental Cup final, coach Luis Enrique fielded only four starters in the league match.

Mixed team!

The Spanish coach fielded the reserve defensive system, except for defender Pacho and right-back Zaire-Emery. Marquinhos and Nuno Mendes, starters in the other positions, were rested. Goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier, who was brought in to be Donnarumma's substitute, is injured and may not play against Flamengo.

In the midfield, the area where Luis Enrique rotates players the most, only Vitinha and Fabián Ruiz, key players of the team, were fielded as starters. João Neves, also frequently used as a starter, was replaced by South Korean Lee Kang-in, who is a sort of "12th player" for PSG.

In the attack, the trio Kvaratskhelia, Dembelé, and Barcola stayed on the bench. Gonçalo Ramos, who is sometimes a starter in Luis Enrique's team, was fielded as a starter.
