PSG predicted XI v Nantes: Illia Zabarnyi set for debut, Gonçalo Ramos starts | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain kick-started their 2025/26 campaign in dramatic circumstances on Wednesday evening when they mounted a late comeback to defeat Tottenham Hotspur on penalties in the UEFA Super Cup. However, they’re already back in action with a trip to the Stade de la Beaujoire to face FC Nantes tonight.

Rotation will be the keyword with Luis Enrique making several changes from the side that beat Tottenham. Illia Zabarnyi is set for his debut after making a big-money move from AFC Bournemouth, replacing the club captain Marquinhos. Nuno Mendes will be given a rest with Lucas Hernandez starting on the left of the back four.

Fabián Ruiz comes into the midfield three with Désiré Doué given a more advanced role after a disappointing showing in the Super Cup. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Ousmane Dembélé start on the bench with Gonçalo Ramos and the teenager Ibrahim Mbaye provided starts.
