PSG-Aston Villa : The way to the semi-finals is coming

Paris Saint-Germain is preparing to host Aston Villa this Tuesday night for the return game of the quarter-final of the Champions League, with a comfortable three-goal lead to one won in the round-up game. The confrontation, broadcast live on Canal+ Foot at 9 p.m., will be crucial for the continuation of the European competition, with the Parisian club seeking to consolidate its advantage and get closer to the semi-final stage. Coach Luis Enrique should make tactical changes for this meeting, demonstrating a willingness to optimize the team’s performance against a specific opponent.

The likely composition of Paris Saint-Germain reveals significant changes, including Marquinhos’ return to central defence, alongside Willian Pachoa, after his suspension in the round-up game. The goaltender, Gianluigi Donnarumma, will also be present to respond to the attacks of the opposing team. The midfielder should maintain its current configuration with the trio composed of João Neves, Vitinha and Fabián Ruiz, thus providing a solid basis for controlling the game. Ashraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes will occupy the right and left side posts respectively, bringing their speed and power to the wings.

One of the question marks lies in the offensive choice to complete the device, with the dilemma between Désiré Doué and Bradley Barcola to accompany Ousmane Dembélé, in the position of false number nine, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Barcola’s presence could be decisive in exploiting the spaces left by the opposing defense, aware that it will have to score at least two goals to hope to reverse the score. The probable composition of the PSG: Donnarumma – Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pachoa, Nuno Mendes – João Neves, Vitinha, Fabián Ruiz – Doué (or Barcola), Dembélé, Kvaratskhelia.
