Defensively, the ideal back four is Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, and Nuno Mendes. Lucas Beraldo, and Lucas Hernandez have come in as rotation when needed but won&#8217;t otherwise feature.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2025\/07\/02\/fifa-club-world-cup-quarterfinal-predictions-including-psg-vs-bayern-munich\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">FIFA Club World Cup Quarterfinal Predictions Including PSG vs Bayern Munich<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The midfield has the most settled core with Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz, and Joao Neves the nailed-on first-choice starters. Warren Zaire-Emery and Senny Mayulu did come in during the group stage to offer some rest.<\/p>\n<p>Mayulu has also played up front where he displaced Goncalo Ramos before losing the spot himself to Bradley Barcola. Desire Doue and Kvicha Kvaratskhelia are nailed-on starters up front having played in every fixture of the tournament so far.<\/p>\n<h3>Paris Saint-Germain Recent Form &amp; Tactics<\/h3>\n<p>Luis Enrique has set up for the tournament in his usual 4-3-3 which focuses on controlling the ball and grinding down the opposition. Fluid player movement is one of his big hallmarks, preferring to let players roam a little and the front three to rotate to cause problems for defenders.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2025\/07\/02\/al-hilal-topples-manchester-city-makes-club-world-cup-history\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Al Hilal Topples Manchester City, Makes Club World Cup History<\/a><\/p>\n<p>After a shocking loss to Botafogo, normal service resumed for the Champions League winners as they dominated Seattle Sounders in a 2-0 win and then took apart Lionel Messi and Inter Miami in a 4-0 win. When they&#8217;re on, they look unstoppable, but the upset loss in the group stage will give hope to opposing teams for the rest of the competition.<\/p>\n<h3>PSG Injuris to Consider<\/h3>\n<p>Per <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sofascore.com\/football\/match\/winner-match-52-winner-match-51\/UHsxdb#id:13385910\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sofascore<\/a>, Enrique is one of the lucky ones and has a full complement to choose from. No injuries or suspensions and, more importantly, Ousmane Dembele fit enough to play some minutes after coming on as a substitute against Miami.<\/p>\n<h3>Paris Saint-Germain Predicted Lineup vs Bayern Munich<\/h3>\n<p>GK &#8211; Gianluigi Donnarumma<\/p>\n<p>LB &#8211; Nuno Mendes<\/p>\n<p>CB &#8211; Pacho<\/p>\n<p>CB &#8211; Marquinhos<\/p>\n<p>RB &#8211; Achraf Hakimi<\/p>\n<p>CM &#8211; Joao Neves<\/p>\n<p>CM &#8211; Vitinha<\/p>\n<p>CM &#8211; Fabian Ruiz<\/p>\n<p>AT &#8211; Desire Doue<\/p>\n<p>AT &#8211; Kvicha Kvaratskhelia<\/p>\n<p>AT &#8211; Bradley Barcola<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a PSG predicted lineup for their Club World Cup knockout stage tie against fellow European opposition.
