If he will very likely leave PSG in a few weeks, Thiago Silva remains a pillar of the defense. The Brazilian international is titular and captain this Friday, at the Stade de France, for the final of the Coupe de France against Saint-Etienne (9:10 p.m., live commentary). He will be associated with Marquinhos in the central hinge, and it is therefore Presnel Kimpembe who pays the price and takes place on the bench. He will be alongside Marco Verratti, replacing at kickoff. It is also the young Mitchell Bakker who starts on the left. In front, it is the usual quartet that is deployed, with Mauro Icardi, Angel Di Maria, Kylian Mbappé and Neymar Jr. The Gueye / Paredes doublet will be in charge of the middle.
The Parisian eleven :
Navas - Kehrer, Thiago Silva (cap.), Marquinhos, Bakker - Di Maria, Gueye, Paredes, Neymar - Icardi, Mbappé
