PSG-City: Marquinhos and Bakker holders, Diallo on the bench

Mauricio Pochettino opts for a player in rhythm on the left side of the defense. Marquinhos is making his comeback in central defense.


PSG therefore chooses to limit the risks.

Marquinhos and Abdou Diallo, uncertain and lacking in rhythm, do not start together this Wednesday evening in the Champions League semi-final against Manchester City.

Mauricio Pochettino opts for the tenure of his captain in central defense but leaves the left side on the sidelines, replaced in the eleven by Mitchel Bakker, as announced by L'Équipe.

Diallo, affected in the calf since the return against Bayern Munich (0-1) on April 13, does not have enough pace to start.

Marquinhos had been injured for three weeks in the adductors.

He had been actively working at the Loges camp for 6 days to be able to take his place.

On the right side, Alessandro Florenzi is established.

For the rest of the eleven, Pochettino started with a classic: a double pivot Gueye-Paredes in the midfield, with Marco Verratti a little more advanced on the pitch and an attacking trio made up of Di Maria, Neymar and Mbappé.

The eleven of PSG:

Navas - Florenzi, Marquinhos (cap.), Kimpembe, Bakker - Gueye, Paredes - Di Maria, Verratti, Neymar - Mbappé.
