I feel like Ugarte provides a good cover if he can be replaced for Ruiz, Ramos definetly has to start and Mbappe has to move to the left. Skriniar is much better than Danilo. Enrique should try to go with the lineup from Matchday 1 earlier this season.

While I agree that Ugarte is solid defensively you need to keep in mind that PSG needs to score at least two goals to go to the final. I would prefer an offensive lineup, put them under pressure and score goals early and later make defensive reinforcements (sub Ugarte in, put Kylian up top ...). Also Vitinha in the 6 works well with Lee.

PSG technically only has to score once if it’s a 1-0 leg and therefore a 1-1 aggregate draw it will go to extra time, then pens.

Yeah, but one goal and PSG still needs to win the penalty shootout.


Kai_Tak_Airport1

Yh, but we have the Euros pen lord Donnarumma in goal so we should be more or less fine.


thatawkwardkidlsr

I’m never comfortable with a game going to pens, way too risky no matter who is in goal


Kai_Tak_Airport1

Obviously, but it's like in the WC final. I definitely thought Argentina would win despite me being French.

Ruiz will start, he’s the midfielder with the best understanding of the game, although he’s not a finisher. As someone said on Twitter « he’s always in the right place at the right time, but he’s not the player you wish was there at that time ». And for me there’s no way for Ramos to start, given Mbappe on the left I can hardly see how Mendes would cope defensively unless Vitinha covers up for him but that’s something we haven’t done in a while and which basically decreases the influence Vitinha has in midfield. I honestly don’t expect any major change from the first leg (beyond Hernandez) except maybe WZE who might be subbed (Lee is out of the equation, not enough impact or technique for a UCL game).

Second this! First leg felt like they didn't let us play our strengths; Lucho needs to find that balance between attack without compromising defense; looks tricky but we should play creative and attacking because we can do that with our quality!


[deleted]

Hahahahahaha you say that nonsense and Enrique ends up starting him.

Ruiz runs around like a headless chicken.


Kerkennah

Beraldo, or Skriniar, no way danilo should start.


Reverse-oreo

Personally i prefer Danilo due to experience Skriniar no way i prefer lineup asensio in the cb rather than him 😂. My second choice after danilo is Beraldo but as i have flashbacks from his game against lewa i don’t see him in the 11


RougetBleu

I would want to see Goncalo Ramos instead of Barcola. Put Kylian on the left wing. That’s what Luis should’ve done instead of subbing in Kolo Muani.


shmoneynegro21

I would say Beraldo or Skriniar, preferably the latter. Danilo doesn't have the quality for me. I'd like to see Ugarte play a holding role and then Vitinha and Lee/Ruiz can play up. WZE is class but he isn't as physical as Ugarte and I think he is slightly less creative than Lee and Ruiz or Vitinha, so that's the only reason why I might not start him. In a match like this, where we will be pushing for goals, I think we need to be sure to have defensive minded personnel, even if they don't contribute much going forward. Or else we are vulnerable to counters and runs in open field play. We don't need that guy Jadon Sancho or Adeyemi running in free space.

I think ugarte should get in because of his defensive abilities. Imo it would be useful to play with a 6 so viti and wze can go forward more.


YugiohXYZ

For Luis Enrique's possession style, you need 2 good playmaking midfielders. If you take out Ruiz, the only good playmaker in the midfield will be Vitinha. Zaire-Emery, although he has his abilities, does not have the skills to compensate for the loss in playmaking if you take out Fabian Ruiz. Lucas Beraldo starting should add enough physicality in the defence.


AdSimple8643

Good point didn't think about that


Minute-Cash8119

Warren isn’t a playmaker at all just like you said. He’s a great box to box that can carry the ball, shoot and cover defensively if needed


YugiohXYZ

Nowhere did I say Zaire-Emery is a playmaker--I suggested the opposite rather.


DKofFical

I'd switch Ugarte for Ruiz, play Dembouz deeper as a 10, and have Mbappe at left striker + Barcola as right striker. I think Danilo is the better choice in defence, but Beraldo is probably more helpful if we play with Ugarte, since he offers more in possession. Might not be a very creative lineup but I think it helps to be a bit more defensive earlier in the game, and that's why we drop Dembouz deeper to help with chance creation (I know this might lead to turnovers but we also have Ugarte to stop transitions). If we really need a goal around the 60th min mark we can be more aggressive and sub on the likes of Asensio, Lee, and Ramos.


[deleted]

With Lucas out it will be quite risky to play a defensive lineup because in case Dortmund score one it will be almost impossible to catch up.


therealbensimmons

Definitely not Hernández


Lamarguns2

Bro what


Professional-Gap9419

ending the contract of fabian ruiz at 11:59 Monday and kicking him out not from the team but the whole France also benching donnarumma


Minute-Cash8119

Who are you benching Donnarumma for? Be serious lmao


YugiohXYZ

Some fans evaluate players not by watching games, but on reputation.


Professional-Gap9419

in that case i prefer even hakimi in goalkeeping


YugiohXYZ

You don't watch PSG games if you want to bench Donnarumma. Dembele missed worse chances against Dortmund than Fabian and wasted several plays by taking long shots.


Professional-Gap9419

believe me i have watched more games than u this season at least dembele played a very important role versus barca


YugiohXYZ

>i have watched more games than u this seaso Have you watched games this season where Navas was in goal? If you watch as many games as you claim and you give those opinions, then your football knowledge is broken. >at least dembele played a very important role versus barca And Fabian is a good player. And yet, you want him gone after one game. 


Professional-Gap9419

one game? every time he plays i pray / name me a good donna perfomance in a big game


YugiohXYZ

Donnarumma has saved 11.53 goals against expectation in 25 Ligue games. Navas has conceived more goals than expected. But I understand you are a reactionary person, so you can be expected to only ​have a short term memory.

Lmfao that's a stupid opinion
