There are some surprises in the eleven concocted by Thomas Tuchel this Wednesday evening for the eighth finals of the PSG French Cup in Pau. The German coach clearly aligns a bis team on the badly damaged lawn of the Hamlet. A composition that can even be described as experimental. Among the offensive players, only one member of the fantastic four begins: Mauro Icardi, accompanied by Choupo-Moting in the Parisian 4-4-2. On the wings, Sarabia and Draxler are aligned.
In the midst, first surprise: Leandro Paredes will wear the captain's armband! The Argentinian will play alongside Ander Herrera. Finally, the defense is also new with, from left to right, the presence of Kurzawa, Kehrer, Kouassi and Dagba. For the purpose, Sergio Rico is titular, as announced by his coach on Tuesday and the press conference.

Even without Neymar, Thiago Silva or Keylor Navas, all remaining in Paris, the Parisian bench is also flashy: Mbappé, Verratti, Di Maria or Kimpembe will start on the sidelines.
The composition of the PSG: Rico - Dagba, Kouassi, Kehrer, Kurzawa - Sarabia, Paredes (cap.), Herrera, Draxler - Icardi, Choupo-Moting.
