Paris Saint-Germain vs Real Madrid – Predicted lineup and team news
Paris Saint-Germain team news
Luis Enrique will need to reshuffle his defence for tonight’s tie. Willian Pacho and Lucas Hernandez each received red cards late on in the quarter-final win over Bayern Munich and are suspended for the semi-final.
Lucas Beraldo is expected to come in at centre-back alongside Marquinhos in the absence of Pacho.
Elsewhere, Ousmane Dembele’s involvement continues to be limited. The club’s leading scorer has featured for just 48 minutes at the Club World Cup across two substitute appearances. In his absence, former Real Madrid full-back Achraf Hakimi has been a key contributor. The Moroccan has two goals and an assist at the tournament to date.
Paris Saint-Germain predicted lineup
PSG predicted XI: Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Lucas Beraldo, Nuno Mendes; Vitinha, Joao Neves, Fabian Ruiz; Doue, Kvaratskhelia, Barcola.
