This time, the choices were relatively limited. With the forfeits of Marquinhos and Fabian Ruiz, affected by the right adductor, that of Hugo Ekitike, insufficiently of his discomfort in the right ischio, the suspension of Achraf Hakimi and the absences already recorded of Presnel Kimpembe, Neymar, Nordi Mukiele and Nuno Mendes, Christophe Galtier was not spoiled for choice. To get at least the point that will ensure PSG an eleventh title of champion of France this Saturday night in Strasbourg, the Parisian coach has done with the means of the edge to constitute his starting eleven.
More than comfortable means since, if they rejuvenate and considerably reduce his bench - only 6 substitutes including 4, if we count Pembélé, from the training center - luui however allow to field a competitive starting eleven.

In front of the inevitable Gianluigi Donnarumma, the defense will be a little rejuvenated since El Chadaille Bitshiabu will start alongside Sergio Ramos and Danilo. On the right, another Titi will be on the front of the stage since Warren Zaire-Emery will again be brought to occupy the right flank usually devolved to Achraf Hakimi, while the left side will be entrusted to Juan Bernat. In between, to team up with the Verratti - Vitinha tandem, Galtier preferred to field Renato Sanches than Carlos Soler, who will take his place on the bench. It is the trio that it will be necessary to put the tandem Messi - Mbappé in the best possible conditions to allow Paris to shake the opposing nets an eighth match in a row in Ligue 1.
