With Neymar, Kylian Mbappé, Mauro Icardi and Angel di Maria, Paris SG coach Thomas Tuchel has chosen to start his "Fantastic Four" together for the first time on attack, Sunday, during the trip to Saint-Etienne in Ligue 1 (2100).
They have already played side by side half an hour at Real Madrid in the Champions League (2-2), without however producing the expected impact.
This meeting of the 18th day therefore marks the return of Di Maria, 6 goals and 7 assists in L1 this season, who has missed the last two meetings due to muscle discomfort.
Italian midfielder Marco Verratti, plagued by injuries that have made him miss the last three league games, begins the bench game.
Contrary to what was announced by the League at first, it was Loïc Perrin, not Stéphane Ruffier, who inherited the captain's armband for the Greens.
Composition of the teams:
Saint-Etienne: Ruffier - Gabriel Silva, W. Fofana, Lo. Perrin (cap) - Aholou, M. Camara, Debuchy, Mvila, Trauco - Nordin, Bouanga
Paris SG: Navas - Meunier, Thiago Silva (cap), A. Diallo, Bernat - Di Maria, Marquinhos, Paredes, Neymar - Mbappé, Icardi
