This Sunday evening, Paris Saint-Germain closes its Ligue 1 season with a derby against Paris FC, a confrontation that may seem innocuous but is part of a crucial week for the French champions. Indeed, PSG is preparing for the Champions League final in Budapest, scheduled shortly after this meeting, which directly influences the composition of its group.
A rotating Parisian group to manage the European final
According to information relayed by Onze Mondial, Luis Enrique has decided to operate a significant rotation in his squad for this trip to Paris FC. This strategy aims to preserve key players in view of the major appointment in Budapest, while ensuring a solid performance to conclude the Ligue 1 season. The retained group includes players accustomed to less playing time, thus offering an opportunity for certain elements to show themselves.
This tactical choice is all the more relevant since PSG is already assured of the French championship title, which allows the coach to adopt a more conservative approach for this match. The start of the match could therefore see a less usual team, with a revamped defense and midfield, which can influence the course of the derby.
