PSG’s Anticipated Lineup for Champions League Showdown with Aston Villa

After clinching the Ligue 1 title with a narrow 1-0 win over Angers, Paris Saint-Germain now shifts focus to their European campaign. The French champions are set to face Aston Villa in a crucial Champions League fixture on Tuesday evening.

According to reports, manager Luis Enrique is expected to make several alterations to the squad that secured the domestic title. The defensive line is likely to see two changes, with Lucas Beraldo stepping in for captain Marquinhos, and Nuno Mendes replacing Lucas Hernández.

In the midfield, João Neves is anticipated to return to the starting lineup, taking the place of Warren Zaïre-Emery. The attacking trio is also set for a shakeup, with the in-form Ousmane Dembélé expected to start alongside Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Désiré Doué, while Gonçalo Ramos makes way.

PSG’s Probable Starting XI vs Aston Villa:

Gianluigi Donnarumma – Achraf Hakimi, Willian Pacho, Lucas Beraldo, Nuno Mendes – João Neves, Fabián Ruiz, Vitinha – Désiré Doué, Ousmane Dembélé, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

These strategic changes reflect PSG’s determination to make a strong impact in the Champions League, balancing their recent domestic success with their European ambitions.
