Thomas Tuchel will undoubtedly make strong choices this Wednesday evening in the Champions League. Diallo will start sideways, as announced by L '


The PSG will begin, except surprise, with an unprecedented eleven this Wednesday evening on the lawn of Manchester United, for a decisive meeting in the final of the Champions League.

Two strong choices from Thomas Tuchel: presence of Abdou Diallo on the left side of the defense and Angel Di Maria on the sidelines, as announced by L'Equipe and RMC in the afternoon.

All in a 4-3-3 system with the goal of success in England, which would allow Paris to keep its destiny in hand.

Diallo therefore responds to Tuchel's call in order to best protect the left side of the defense.

The central defender, left-handed, knows this position even if he has not yet developed as such this season.

The physical worries of Layvin Kurzawa and the inexperience of Mitchel Bakker push the German technician towards this choice.

Still in defense, Tuchel decides to start with a Marquinhos-Kimpembe hinge.

Which puts Danilo back in the middle of the field.

The Portuguese will be surrounded in the midfield by Marco Verratti and Leandro Paredes.

Finally, in attack, second important choice of the Parisian coach: tenure of Moise Kean in tip.

A decision that shifts Di Maria on the sidelines.

Mbappé and Neymar will animate the rest of the offensive line.

If this composition is confirmed, it is the first time in the Thomas Tuchel era that Di Maria does not start a Champions League match while the Argentinian is in the group.

The probable eleven of PSG:

Navas - Florenzi, Marquinhos (cap.), Kimpembe, Diallo - Verratti, Danilo, Paredes - Neymar - Mbappé, Kean.
