PSG Set to Face a Weakened Marseille in Upcoming Paris Match

While the Ballon d’Or ceremony is happening, a rescheduled match between Marseille and PSG will take place at the same time. Despite the importance of this French football clash, PSG will be fielding a significantly weakened team.

Details: Four key players from Paris—Ousmane Dembélé, Désiré Doué, Bradley Barcola, and João Neves—will miss the match. This means the reigning Champions League champions are heading to Paris with a reduced squad as the Ballon d’Or event starts.

Gonçalo Ramos will lead the attack in the starting lineup, alongside Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. In midfield, Warren Zaïre-Emery will replace the absent Neves. On defense, an unusual trio will feature: Illya Zabarnyi, Marquinhos, and Willian Pacho.

Reminder: Doué has been confirmed to have finished 14th in the Ballon d’Or voting. Meanwhile, Dembélé is still a top contender for the award, alongside Barcelona‘s Raphinha and Lamine Yamal.
