PSG in 3-5-2 and without Angel Di Maria or Moise Kean at kick-off?

This is what is looming this Tuesday evening at the Parc des Princes, according to information from the Team.

In its den, at 9 p.m., the capital club must validate its ticket for the round of 16 of the Champions League by receiving Istanbul Basaksehir, already eliminated from the competition.

PSG-Basaksehir: Paris must avoid the bad joke


For this last outing of the year in the European Cup, Thomas Tuchel would have chosen once again to leave Di Maria on the sidelines.

The coach has already done this against Bordeaux (2-2) at home and then in Manchester (3-1 success) against United.

Fideo was then established in Montpellier in the league where the leading team in Ligue 1 won (3-1).

Between the coach and his right winger, it is not the great love at the moment.

Evidenced by a sulky exit from the field during PSG - Leipzig (1-0) in the Champions League.

Since his arrival at the club, Tuchel has always designated the ex-Madrilenian as a key player, just like Neymar and Kylian Mbappé, to a lesser extent for the latter.

Since his return from selection, Di Maria also seems less in shape, accusing the blow physically.

Rafinha finally holder?

According to the Team, Moise Kean could also pass his turn.

The Italian had yet scored a double in the first leg victory (2-0).

He is one of the fittest strikers in the squad but, in his 5-3-2 pattern, Tuchel would have preferred the Neymar - Mbappé doublet in front.

The great beneficiary of this tactical hat is called Rafinha.

The Brazilian would sort of be in charge of leading the proceedings with Marco Verratti and Leandro Paredes at his side in a three-way midfield.

Danilo Pereira would then step back a notch to enter the central defense, in the middle of Presnel Kimpembe and Marquinhos.

Alessandro Florenzi and Mitchel Bakker would be the side pistons.
