Which starting 11 for PSG? With Luis Enrique, there is always suspense… A question with many unknowns before this semi-final return of the Champions League against Dortmund, this Tuesday (9 p.m., live commentary), at the Parc des Princes. The first concerned the replacement for Lucas Hernandez, who was injured in the 1-0 first leg defeat in Germany and was out for the rest of the season. It was Lucas Beraldo Danilo Pereira who hit the jackpot. Then, we could wonder if the attacking trio composed of Kylian Mbappé, Ousmane Dembélé and Bradley Barcola would be renewed. The answer is no. Not used at Signal Iduna Park, Gonçalo Ramos takes Barcola’s place. The Portuguese center forward has only started once in C1 this season, at Newcastle (4-1 defeat), he who has only appeared in one of PSG’s last six European matches, for five minutes against Barça (2-3). He will be aligned in the axis, with Mbappé on the left and “Dembouz” on the right. For the rest, no surprise, it was the men who started last Wednesday.
What about Borussia Dortmund? Edin Terzic continues on the 11th of the first leg, without exception. We saw Karim Adeyemi training separately on Monday, at the Parc des Princes. However, he is well aligned in the German team. BVB 09 will rely in particular on Gregor Kobel in goal, Mats Hummels behind, Marcel Sabitzer in the middle and the scorer of the first leg in front, Niclas Fullkrug. Without forgetting Jadon Sancho, brilliant a week ago. Note the return, on the bench, of Dutch striker Donyell Malen.
The Parisian 11: Donnarumma – Hakimi, Marquinhos, Beraldo, Mendes – Vitinha, Zaire-Emery, Ruiz – Dembele, Ramos, Mbappe.
Dortmund’s 11: Kobel – Ryerson, Hummels, Schlotterbeck, Maatsen – Can, Sabitzer, Brandt – Sancho, Fullkrug, Adeyemi.
