Just hours before the UEFA Champions League semi-final second leg between Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich, French media outlets appear to be in complete agreement regarding the starting XI expected to be chosen by Luis Enrique at the Allianz Arena.
After PSG’s thrilling 5-4 victory in the first leg, both Le Parisien and L’Équipe are predicting exactly the same lineup for the decisive clash in Munich.
In goal, Matvey Safonov is expected to start behind a defense featuring Nuno Mendes, Willian Pacho, Marquinhos and Warren Zaïre-Emery, who should once again operate at right-back.
In midfield, the trio of Fabián Ruiz, Vitinha and João Neves is set to provide technical control, composure and intensity.
