Just a few hours before the clash between Paris Saint-Germain and Newcastle, the French press appears remarkably unanimous about Luis Enrique’s choices. In a rare show of agreement, Le Parisien and L’Équipe are both predicting exactly the same starting eleven for this decisive European fixture.
In both cases, PSG would line up in a 4-3-3 formation with an attacking trio of Barcola, Dembélé and Kvaratskhelia, tasked with providing pace, penetration and creativity. In midfield, the now well-established trio of Ruiz, Vitinha and Zaïre-Emery would feature, embodying the balance and technical control sought by the Spanish coach.
A clear consensus around Luis Enrique’s XI
At the back, there would be no surprises either, with Mendes, Pacho, Marquinhos and Hakimi in front of Chevalier in goal. This total agreement between the two newspapers highlights how clearly Luis Enrique’s preferred team has emerged. Barring a last-minute twist, this is the eleven expected to start against Newcastle in a match where PSG have a lot at stake in their European campaign.
No doubt about the starting lineup? Le Parisien (4-3-3): Barcola, Dembélé, Kvaratskhelia; Ruiz, Vitinha, Zaïre-Emery; Mendes, Pacho, Marquinhos, Hakimi; Chevalier. L’Équipe (4-3-3) predicts the exact same lineup with the same players in every position.
