🧠 Tactical Setup & Predicted Formations

Paris Saint-Germain – Luis Enrique 
Formation: 4-3-3 
Style: Possession play, overlapping fullbacks, vertical transitions 
Likely XI: Donnarumma – Hakimi*, Marquinhos, Beraldo, Nuno Mendes – Neves, Vitinha, Ruiz* – Dembélé, Doué, Kvaratskhelia

(*if fit)

- High pressing and fluid rotations 
- Fullbacks key to wide overloads

Style: Compact press, midfield control, rapid wide counters 
Likely XI: Lunin – Alexander-Arnold, Rüdiger, Asencio, Fran García – Valverde, Tchouaméni, Güler – Bellingham – Vinícius Jr, Mbappé

- Fast transitions via Vini and Mbappé 
- Bellingham as false 9 or advanced playmaker 
- Compact shape may shift into 4-3-3 dynamically
