With kick-off scheduled for 7:00 PM (French time), the official team sheets for PSG/OM are now known. Contrary to what often happens with Luis Enrique, there are no real surprises on the Parisian side.
As expected, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia starts on the left flank of PSG’s attack, with Bradley Barcola beginning the match on the bench.
PSG lineup: Kvara confirmed on the left
In goal, Lucas Chevalier starts and is protected by what is arguably PSG’s strongest defensive line at present: Warren Zaïre-Emery on the right, Marquinhos and Willian Pacho in central defense, and Nuno Mendes on the left.
Midfield is composed of the usual trio, from right to left: João Neves, Vitinha, and Fabián Ruiz.
Up front, Ousmane Dembélé leads the line, flanked by Désiré Doué on the right and Kvaratskhelia on the left. Notably, both Dembélé and Doué missed the last Classique in September (a 1–0 OM win).
Official PSG lineup vs OM:
Chevalier – Zaïre-Emery, Marquinhos (c), Pacho, Mendes – Neves, Vitinha, Ruiz – Doué, Dembélé, Kvaratskhelia
Gouiri starts for OM in a 3-4-3 system
On the Marseille side, the starting XI is very close to what the French press had anticipated. Roberto De Zerbi has opted for a 3-4-3 formation.
In front of goalkeeper Rulli, Leonardo Balerdi makes his return in central defense, flanked by Benjamin Pavard and Facundo Medina. The wing-back roles are filled by Emerson on the left and Timothy Weah on the right.
Midfield duties fall to Pierre-Emile Højbjerg and Geoffrey Kondogbia. In attack, Mason Greenwood and Paixãooperate on the wings, while Amine Gouiri gets the nod up front instead of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, marking his return after a long absence.
Official OM lineup vs PSG:
Rulli – Pavard, Balerdi (c), Medina – Weah, Højbjerg, Kondogbia, Emerson – Greenwood, Gouiri, Paixão
