Real Madrid and PSG meet again this Wednesday in the Champions League round of 16 clash, three weeks after the first leg with Parisian victory. And for this trip to the Santiago Bernabéu, Mauricio Pochettino will have to line up without Ramos, Herrera and Juan Bernat, absent for a long time.
In its edition of the day, the French press practically agrees on the initial composition that the Argentine will line up in a few hours for this match. The Parisian starting eleven should be presented in a tactical 4-3-3 system according to L'Équipe and Le Parisien. In goal, it is Donnarumma and not Keylor Navas who is announced although the press remains cautious, and the Italian would be protected by a defensive line made up of Hakimi, Marquinhos, Kimpembe and Mendes, from right to left.
In front of the defense doubts appear: Danilo as pivot, Gueye and Verratti as interiors according to L'Équipe, Paredes accompanied by Danilo and Verratti, according to Le Parisien. In attack would be Neymar, Messi and Mbappé, with doubts about the positioning of the last two between the axis and the right.
