A little more than ten days after being held in check by Brest in Ligue 1 (2-2), PSG will try to do this Wednesday evening (9:10 p.m.) against this same Breton team in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France.
For the occasion, Luis Enrique decided to trust a particularly competitive starting team.
In goal, the Spanish coach notably trusts Gianluigi Donnarumma rather than Keylor Navas, who started in the two previous rounds against Revel and Orléans.
In defense, the big surprise comes from the tenure of Achraf Hakimi, who has just returned to Paris after his elimination in the round of 16 of the CAN with Morocco.
Despite only one training in the legs, the defender, cheered by the supporters when the team was announced, started in the right lane, while Lucas Beraldo took his place on the left.
The central hinge is made up of Marquinhos and Danilo.
In midfield, Manuel Ugarte, injured during the match in Strasbourg, was left on the bench and gave way to Fabian Ruiz in a sentry role.
Vitinha and Warren Zaire-Emery support him in the Parisian midfield.
Up front, it’s the shock offensive trio that starts.
Left on the bench against Brest and preserved against Strasbourg last Friday, Ousmane Dembélé resumes his place in the right lane of the Parisian attack.
Back from suspension, Bradley Barcola finds his left wing, while Kylian Mbappé occupies the point.
The composition of PSG
: Donnarumma - Hakimi, Marquinhos (cap.), Danilo, Beraldo - Zaire-Emery, Fabian Ruiz, Vitinha - Dembélé, Mbappé, Barcola.
