Parisians and Marseillais will face each other this Sunday on behalf of the 32nd day of Ligue 1, at the Parc des Princes. Always a special match between these two teams. Here is the combined eleven of the two teams.
The match that all of France is waiting for. This Sunday, Paris Saint-Germain receives its sworn enemy and runner-up Olympique de Marseille for an always electric Classic. In the lead with a 12-point lead, the Parisians have little to fear in the standings. Barring disaster, the club from the capital will indeed be champion of France next May. But this meeting remains an important meeting for the club and for the supporters.
On the Marseille side, second place is not yet secure. A result other than a defeat would do the business of the Marseille club in the race for the Champions League at the end of the season. This meeting between two teams in great shape in Ligue 1 therefore promises to be captivating. Before kick-off, here is our combined eleven of the two teams. Device in 4-2-3-1.
▪ Gianluigi Donnarumma ??
Nothing surprising. Logically, Gigio Donnarumma takes place in the goal of this combined eleven. Despite his mistake in the Champions League against Real Madrid, the Parisian goalkeeper equalized a convincing first exercise within the capital club.
▪ Achraf Hakimi ??
Even if he has been less efficient for a few months with the Red and Blue, Achraf Hakimi is in our eleven. It’s true that there wasn’t too much competition since the Olympians don’t have a real right-back this season. Valentin Rongier is not a specialist in the position to be confronted with Achraf Hakimi.
▪ William Saliba ?⚪
Its presence in the central hinge is highly deserved. The neo-French international is having a full season, where he is the captain of the Marseille defense. With him, the Olympian team is much more serene and solid defensively.
▪ Marquinhos ??
It could have been Presnel Kimpembe or Sergio Ramos given the current form of the three defenders. But if we rely on the regularity displayed since the start of the season, the presence of Marquinhos is undeniable. The Parisian captain has rarely missed his meetings this season.
▪ Nuno Mendes ??
The revelation of the season in the Parisian workforce. Nuno Mendes continues to progress. A full-back, with great physical and technical qualities, he has done Parisians a lot of good in this area of play.
▪ Marco Verratti ??
The Parisian metronome and the playmaker of this team. Without Marco Verratti, the Ile-de-France residents find it difficult to put their foot on the ball and make the game. Our choice to put him in the eleven is nothing but obvious.
▪ Mattéo Guendouzi ?⚪
Mattéo Guendouzi is placed alongside Marco Verratti in front of the defense. The Marseillais has convinced all the Olympian people since his arrival last summer. To the point of being called up regularly by Didier Deschamps in the France team.
▪ Dimitri Payet ?⚪
OM captain. The strong man of the Marseille club since the start of the season. Dimitri Payet releases a beautiful 2021-2022 financial year. The Reunionese seems to be approaching his best level. He is positioned in a number 10 role behind the three forwards.
▪ Lionel Messi ??
Admittedly, he’s not the great Messi this season in Ligue 1, but there has been an improvement in his performance in recent weeks. And then, frankly, how not to put the best player of the last 15 years in our combined eleven? Impossible.
▪ Kylian Mbappé ??
The best player in the world, the best scorer and assist in Ligue 1. There is nothing else to add.
▪ Neymar Jr ??
Neymar finds a very good level at the end of the season. The Brazilian has found the net 6 times in the capital club’s last 4 outings. The Parisian number 10 is on fire in this last straight line.
▪ Coach: Jorge Sampaoli ?⚪
The Argentine impresses much more than Mauricio Pochettino this season. Arrived last summer, the former coach of Chile and Argentina has managed to create a real collective and a game identity with his players.
