Verratti and Wijnaldum on the flank
Two notable elements should declare forfeits after feeling an embarrassment on Tuesday: Marco Verratti and Georginio Wijnaldum. According to information from L’Equipe, the Italian should be withdrawn, just like the Dutch, who for his part, seemed promised to stay on the bench. Satisfactory on Saturday against Nantes, Paredes and Gueye should continue.
If the alignment of the phantasmagoric “MNM” is clear in attack, the defensive line could be reshaped. Presnel Kimpembe and Sergio Ramos have returned to the group. A small event for the Spanish legend, which should however be too short to be launched in the arena. Hakimi and Nuno Mendes are expected on the sides, as in the first game against the Citizens.
The probable line-up of PSG: Navas – Hakimi, Marquinhos (c), Kimpembe, Nuno Mendes – Gueye, Paredes, Herrera – Messi, Mbappé, Neymar.
