Paris Saint-Germain will face Stade Bresois on Tuesday night at Stade de Roudourou in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League tie. The Parisians will attempt to take an advantage when the scene shifts to the Parc des Princes next week.
In the lead-up to their Champions League clash, PSG cruised to a 5-2 win over Brest at Stade Francis Le Blé on February 1. Ousmane Dembélé delivered a hat-trick performance against Brest that spotlights his form in 2025.
He opened the scoring in the 29th minute, finishing off a surging run and pinpoint cross from Bradley Barcola.
Dembélé’s second came in the 56th minute when he reacted quickest to a Fabian Ruiz shot that deflected off Marco Bizot. But his third was the highlight, a clinical finish from a brilliant Kang-in Lee assist in the 62nd minute.
What’s the potential starting XI for PSG against Brest?
The Frenchman will attempt to replicate this performance and here’s the starting 11 that manager Luis Enrique will go with against their Ligue 1 opponent, per RMC Sport:
Goalkeeper: Gianluigi Donnarumma
Defenders: Nuno Mendes, Willian Pacho, Marquinhos, and Achraf Hakimi
Midfielders: João Neves, Warren Zaïre-Emery, and Désiré Doué
Forwards: Bradley Barcola, Dembélé, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia
The winner of this tie will get either FC Barcelona or Liverpool in the next stage of the competition.
