No suspense for this first day of Ligue 1. PSG starts its 2022-2023 championship with the same team which won the Champions Trophy last Sunday against Nantes (4-0): a 3-4-1-2 without Kylian Mbappé, suspended on Sunday but this time injured in the adductors, and replaced by the Spaniard Pablo Sarabia in attack.
The latter, accompanied by Neymar, is supported on the offensive front by Lionel Messi.
Behind them, a line of four made up of Achraf Hakimi, Marco Verratti, Vitinha and Nuno Mendes.
Behind, a three-way defense with Marquinhos as captain surrounded by Sergio Ramos and Presnel Kimpembe.
Finally, in goal, Gianluigi Donnarumma, designated number 1 for the season by Christophe Galtier, logically starts when Keylor Navas takes place on the bench.
Among the nine substitutes, we note the presence of the young Warren Zaire-Emery, 16, who has made a strong impression on the Parisian staff since the start of preparation.
