Heavily criticized for having aligned four attackers at Newcastle (4-1 defeat), Luis Enrique has revised his copy. The Parisian coach starts Vitinha, a midfielder, in place of an attacker, Randal Kolo Muani, compared to the 11 who started in the Champions League this week.
As for Stade Rennais, also beaten on the European scene, Thursday (0-1 against Villarreal), Bruno Genesio leaves Arnaud Truffert and Arnaud Le Fée on the bench. The ghost Martin Terrier too. It is a Rieder/Blas/Gouri trio which will be responsible for feeding the former Parisian Arnaud Kalimuendo on the front of the Breton attack.
