Roster confirmed

Paris Saint-Germain plays in 4-3-3 to exploit speed on the wings. Goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier protects the arc, with Marquinhos and Pacho in central defense. Nuno Mendes closes the left flank, while Hakimi advances on the right. In the middle, Vitinha and João Neves set the pace, with Zaïre-Emery at the base. Up front, Kvaratskhelia, Barcola and Dembélé form the attacking trio.

Nice opt for 3-4-1-2, prioritizing defensive solidity. Yehvann Diouf takes over in goal after Safonov’s injury. The three-back line includes Mendy, Bah and Oppong. Bard and Gouveia play on the wings, with Samed and Vanhoutte in midfield. Diop plays behind strikers Boga and Jansson, looking for quick counterattacks.

These choices reflect recent adjustments, with PSG testing variations after the recent draw.

Embezzlements weighing on squads

Injuries affect both sides this round. At PSG, Désiré Doué is out due to a muscle injury, while Fabián Ruiz and Kang-in Lee await medical clearance. Marquinhos returns to defense after suspension, strengthening the defense. Coach Luis Enrique manages the wear and tear of an intense week, with a focus on rotation.

Nice suffer more impacts, with Moïse Bombito, Mohamed Abdelmonem, Youssouf Ndayishimiye and Dante injured in defense. Having Moffi and Mohamed-Ali Cho are doubtful, and Charles Vanhoutte and Sofiane Diop do not have full confirmation. Franck Haise improvises at the rear, prioritizing speed in the attack to compensate for casualties.

These problems force tactical adaptations, such as the use of young people at Nice and veterans at PSG.

The absence of key parts increases the pressure onthe reserves, testing the depth of the squads.
