This is called killing two birds with one stone.
Four days before hosting Real Sociedad in the round of 16 of the Champions League, Luis Enrique has once again multiplied the surprises in his starting eleven.
But this time he linked the useful to the surprising since it is almost an “second team” allowing to spare those who should start on Wednesday evening that the Spanish coach has decided to line up this Saturday evening against Lille.
While until then he had only been invited to the Coupe de France, Keylor Navas will start his first Ligue 1 match of the season since he was preferred to Gianluigi Donnarumma in the cage.
In defense, there is also a big turnover since Nordi Mukiele, who did not join the starting lineup in 2024, will start his fifth match of the season on the right flank.
While Lucas Hernandez, returning from suspension, will find his left side, the axis will be entrusted to the Danilo-Beraldo pair.
The composition of PSG:
Navas - Mukiele, Danilo, Beraldo, Hernandez - Dembélé, Ugarte, Ruiz, Asensio - Kolo Muani, Ramos.
For this 21st day of Ligue 1, Luis Enrique pushed the innovation a little further since Paris will start in 4-4-2, his midfield being made up of the pair Ugarte – Ruiz in the defensive sector while the sides will be entrusted to Ousmane Dembélé (right) and Marco Asensio.
After the impressive blow received on Wednesday against Brest, no risks will be taken with Kylian Mbappé, the Parisian top scorer being on the bench at kick-off.
The two attacking positions will be entrusted to Gonçalo Ramos and Randal Kolo Muani.
