The sixth matchday of the UEFA Champions League continues with PSG visiting Athletic Bilbao at 21:00 IST, a match available on FM. Currently sitting fourth with twelve points from five matches, their only defeat being against Bayern (1-2), PSG can make significant progress toward the knockout stage with a win in Spain. Conversely, Bilbao is in a tough spot with only four points, placing them 28th.
For this match, Luis Enrique must deal with several absences including Chevalier, Dembélé, Beraldo, Hakimi, and Hernandez. He can, however, rely on Nuno Mendes, who will start on the left side of defense, and Doué will be on the bench. Zaïre-Emery is set on the right side of defense alongside the center-back pairing of Marquinhos and Pacho, with Safonov in goal. In midfield, Vitinha will team up with Joao Neves and Ruiz, while Mayulu leads the attack, supported by Barcola and Kvaratskhelia. On the Bilbao side, Ernesto Valverde will be without Laporte, opting for Berchiche, a former PSG player, in central defense alongside Vivian. Unai Simon starts as goalkeeper while Guruzeta leads the attack with Nico Williams, Sancet, and Berenguer behind him.
