The wait is almost over! Initially scheduled to be held in China, the Trophée des Champions will instead take place in Doha this Sunday at 5:30 PM.
For PSG, Luis Enrique has the advantage of a fully fit squad. Donnarumma is expected to start in goal, with a backline featuring Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, and Mendes.
In midfield, the choice remains between João Neves and Fabian Ruiz to partner Zaïre-Emery and Vitinha. In attack, Désiré Doué might play as a false nine, flanked by Dembélé and Barcola. Gonçalo Ramos, recently recovered from injury, is another viable option.
