Both Donnarumma and Zaire-Emery have long disappeared at inopportune times this campaign, with the away defeat to Arsenal and the home draw against PSV Eindhoven two major examples of the supremacy of what was once a unconvincing opening victory over Girona FC in total since the final. all staff. The Azzurri superstar was once questionable in both of the Gunners’ London goals before this period and has generally looked shaky whenever the race has turned into the Les Parisiens era, the Frenchman has been below average since his excellent extension promise months ago. the past.
Matvey Safonov and Fabián Ruiz entered the XI configuration against the Lens era. Marco Asensio was also given another chance as a fraudulent number nine, which has proven to be a difficult trait for Luis Enrique to resolve since he began experimenting with him. The Russian goalkeeper put in a pretty solid performance in the capital against northern guests PSG, but he wasn’t exactly scrutinized because in front of him was a moderately assembled back four captained by Marquinhos with Willian Pachom. Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes contribute.
If the appearance of Safonov was enough to dislodge Donnarumma in a significant way more to be detectable, but it will have to serve as an electroshock for the Italian, who will not have to consider himself untouchable in local or continental matches, probably taking into account the objectives more avoidable than it concedes. As for Ruiz, one of Spain’s best players at UEFA Euro 2024 this summer when Los Angeles Roja ran out deserving winners, it was a solid but unspectacular performance alongside Vitinha and Joao Neves, which is probably exactly what Luis Enrique needs and wants against Atlético de Madrid after Wednesday.
Regardless of whether it was Zaire-Emery or Ruiz, the trio are often part of second-row set-up XIs and were simply a reminder to the teenager that he is no longer above being changed from time to time. and then if their performances do not live up to the financing that Paris has put into their offer. Indeed, the combination of Ruiz, Vitinha and Neves has performed much less consistently than one might expect, given the triumvirate’s combined pedigree, and would no longer look out of the park from the start against Atleti. Over time if this is how Luis Enrique chooses to play.
Marco Asensio was no longer very convincing because of the fraudulent 9 but, in reality, who has been so far? Lee Kang-in, who replaced initial scorer Ousmane Dembélé in the second half, hasn’t exactly thrived there either and all attempts are necessarily to find a placeholder for Gonçalo Ramos. With so much at stake for both Luis Enrique and Diego Simeone, the desire to resist the temptation to experiment against the visiting Spaniards is admirable, meaning the Les Parisiens boss may have been doing it here to tell the tale. alternatives.
