Statistics
In Messi's debut in Reims, PSG fans were left with the honey on their lips
of being able to enjoy the Argentine, Neymar and Mbappé for the first time.
The Rosario entered the field of play in the second half for Neymar,
depriving Pochettino of seeing the three in action.
It will not be the case in Bruges, since, on this occasion, the offensive trio are in full physical condition and there is no reason not to line them up.
The scheme
It remains to be known, on the other hand,
with what system Pochettino will come out to bring the three together and not have defensive imbalances.
In Reims, Messi acted as a midfielder in a 4-2-3-1, which is the formation that the Argentine has used the most at the start of the season in Paris. Nor is it ruled out a 4-3-3 with Messi on the right, Mbappé as a reference and Neymar on the left, with PSG behind three midfielders to compensate for the lack of defensive aids from the offensive trinomial.
The 3-5-2, which would protect PSG even more on the defensive line and would give freedom to Achraf and Nuno Mendes
(a priori he will start) on the wings, has not been ruled out by L'Équipe either. Regarding the absences, in addition to the confirmed withdrawal of Ramos, PSG will not be able to count on Di María and Gueyes, both sanctioned, and possibly without Verratti, who is doubtful until the last minute due to muscular discomfort.
