It is still unclear who Mauricio Pochettino will choose to line up in the Paris goal for PSG's first match in the Champions League this season Wednesday evening (9 p.m.) in Bruges.
Since the arrival of recent European champion Gianluigi Donnarumma this summer, the Argentine coach has always refused to appoint a clear holder for this position, where he also has the number one since 2019, Costa Rican Keylor Navas.
A positioning that is not a problem according to the former goalkeeper of the capital club, Gianluigi Buffon.
"If a team like PSG has two very strong goalkeepers like this is the case, why say that one is starting and the other is number 2?
Because sincerely, that would not be fair, estimates it in an interview granted to the emission of beIN Sports, “VIP Room”.
You have to see the performance in a match to decide who will play.
When you have two very high quality goalkeepers, it's a shame to choose one or the other.
And besides, why choose one?
Both have to be able to play.
"

The Italian legend, world champion in 2006 with Squadra Azzurra, experienced this situation during his only season at PSG (2018-2019) where he was in competition with Alphonse Areola.
Paris did not wish to extend his contract, recruiting Keylor Navas the following summer and sending Alphonse Areola on loan.
Now 43, Buffon has been keeping Parma's goal since this summer.
If Keylor Navas was designated as holder for the Champions Trophy and then for the first four matches of Ligue 1 of PSG, Donnarumma had his first appearance in the Parisian jersey on Saturday against Clermont.
Before the second Wednesday evening in Belgium?
