PSG's Lineup for Crucial Champions League Match Against Salzburg
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) faces a pivotal match in the UEFA Champions League against Salzburg this Tuesday, December 10, 2024. Coach Luis Enrique emphasized the importance of this game, labeling it as 'vital' during a press conference. PSG aims to secure their second win in the tournament following a narrow victory against Girona in September.
In goal, Gianluigi Donnarumma returns after a brief absence, having been replaced by Matvey Safonov in the previous match against Bayern Munich, where Safonov made a critical error leading to a 1-0 loss. The defensive lineup remains consistent, featuring Achraf Hakimi, captain Marquinhos, Willian Pacho, and Nuno Mendes.
A notable change in the midfield sees João Neves starting in place of Warren Zaire-Emery, who has been performing well but will begin the match on the bench. Vitinha will anchor the midfield, supported by Neves and Fabian Ruiz. Up front, with Ousmane Dembélé suspended, Kang-In Lee will take his position on the right wing, alongside Gonçalo Ramos and Bradley Barcola. Ramos is expected to lead the attack as PSG seeks to improve their standing in the Champions League.
The confirmed PSG lineup is as follows: Donnarumma - Hakimi, Marquinhos (captain), Pacho, Mendes - Vitinha, Neves, Ruiz - Lee, Ramos, Barcola.
