The Trophée des Champions, which faces the winner of Ligue 1 (PSG) and the French Cup (Nantes), will take place this Sunday in Tel Aviv, Israel.
Last year, Paris Saint-Germain surprised by losing to Jocelyn Gourvennec's Lille (1-0, goal by Xeka, 54'). This match will therefore be a perfect remake of the first edition of the Trophée des Champions (previously called Challenge des Champions) played in 1996 at the Francis-Le-Blé stadium in Brest and which saw the Parisians win on penalties (2 -2; 6-5).
Nantes, 1-0 winner against Nice in the French Cup final last May, will try this time to topple the Parisians who will arrive in Israel with a more than complete group, but without many 'undesirables'.
PSG's squad list:
Goalkeepers: Donnarumma, Navas, Rico.
Defenders: Hakimi, Kimpembe, Ramos, Marquinhos, Mukiele, Bernat, Diallo, Nuno Mendes.
Midfielders: Danilo Pereira, Verratti, Gueye, Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, Paredes.
Forwards: Icardi, Neymar, Sarabia, Messi, Kalimuendo.
Missing:
Layvin Kurzawa, Georginio Wijnaldum, Julian Draxler, Ander Herrera, Rafinha, Thilo Kehrer, Hugo Ekitike, Éric Junior Dina-Ebimbe, Timothée Pembélé.
