Start Warren Zaire-Emery and Manuel Ugarte

A midfield three of Warren Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, and Manuel Ugarte is the best PSG can start. The midfield that they fielded on Wednesday which consisted of Lee Kang-in, Fabian Ruiz, and Vitinha does not provide as much balance.

Lee Kang-In struggled to make any sort of impact defensively and the midfield as a whole had no answer for Pedri. The Spanish midfielder came on in the 60th minute and was impactful straightaway as his first touch was a masterful assist to Raphinha. It is hard to believe it was his first game back since his injury on March 3rd.
