PSG predicted XI v Reims: Luis Enrique to go full strength for Coupe de France final | OneFootball

PSG face Stade de Reims in tonight’s Coupe de France final. Holders PSG have the opportunity to seal a second consecutive domestic treble on the back of their Ligue 1 and Trophée des Champions titles. Les Parisiens also need to prepare for next week’s Champions League final against Serie A runners-up Inter Milan. Fortunately for head coach Luis Enrique, the only absentee would be Presnel Kimpembe as the France international centre-back suffers an injury setback.

To clinch PSG’s 16th Coupe de France, the Spaniard is expected to field a team similar to the one that will face the Nerazzurri next Saturday in the Champions League final. Italy international Gianluigi Donnarumma will start between the sticks behind a tried-and-trusted back four made of Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Willian Pacho and Nuno Mendes. Fabian Ruiz and Vitinha were given a rest last week but they are set to start tonight at Stade de France alongside João Neves.

Up front, Ousmane Dembélé will also return to the fold, whereas Khvicha Kvaratskhelia will be tasked to wreak havoc on the left wing. L’Equipe understands that Bradley Barcola will be his opposite number on the right wing, but Désiré Doué may be a surprise inclusion.
