Club World Cup: PSG's expected lineup against Atlético Madrid

The match between Paris Saint-Germain and Atletico Madrid today is expected to be a highly competitive match between the European champions and Atletico Madrid Simeone, who wants to prove that he is ready for the competition next season with the good names he has with Argentine coach Diego Simeone.

PSG's recent tactics and tactics

Luis Enrique was able to adapt the 4-3-3 formation he was used to at PSG, with this formation the Spanish coach was able to have great flexibility to move the team as he wanted to move it and also give the right roles to each player. Enrique's style is based on rotating the ball and possession while maintaining a cohesive block that moves with each other.

Luis Enrique is a son of the Spanish school who favors an attacking style, so it's natural to notice that he prefers to have possession and attack rather than just rotating the ball backwards.

The team finished the season with a remarkable treble and a Champions League title, breaking the monopoly of their bitter rivals Olympique Marseille as the only French team to win the UEFA Champions League.

PSG's expected lineup against Atletico Madrid

Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique appears set to field a strong lineup despite the competition's tendency for squad rotation, particularly when facing a formidable opponent like Diego Simeone's side. Between the posts, Gianluigi Donnarumma is expected to retain his starting position, shielded by a back four consisting of Achraf Hakimi at right-back, Marquinhos partnering Pacho in central defense, and Nuno Mendes occupying the left flank.

The midfield trio likely features Vitinha orchestrating play alongside Fabian Ruiz and the promising Joao Neves. Further forward, the attacking responsibilities could fall to Desire Doue, Ousmane Dembele, and Bradley Barcola as PSG looks to break down their opponents' defensive structure. Enrique's selection suggests he's prioritizing continuity over rotation for this challenging encounter.
