Nuno Mendes Back in PSG Lineup as Le Havre Visit Parc des Princes
Hey everyone, let’s talk about tonight’s big Ligue 1 clash between Paris Saint-Germain and Le Havre. There’s quite a buzz around the PSG squad because Nuno Mendes is back in the starting eleven after almost a month out with a knee injury. He got hurt on November 4th in the Champions League match against Bayern Munich, so seeing him back on the field is definitely a boost for the team.
Luis Enrique has been carefully managing his squad lately, balancing Ligue 1 fixtures with the upcoming Champions League showdown against Tottenham. For tonight, he’s decided to rest some key players. Marquinhos, Fabian Ruiz, Bradley Barcola, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia all start on the bench, likely being preserved for the European clash midweek.

The PSG lineup tonight is interesting. In goal, we have Chevalier, with Zaïre-Emery, Illia Zabarnyi, and Lucas Beraldo forming the central defense alongside Mendes on the left. The midfield is led by captain Vitinha, with João Neves and Senny Mayulu. Up front, Lee Kang-in, Gonçalo Ramos, and Ibrahim Mbaye have been chosen to start, meaning Barcola and Kvaratskhelia are being given some rest.
On the other side, Le Havre has made just one notable change to their usual lineup. Didier Digard has opted for Simon Ebonog over Felix Mambimbi upfront, with Issa Soumaré leading the line. Their defense, anchored by goalkeeper Mory Diaw, includes Loïc Nego, Gautier Lloris, Arouna Sanganté, and Yanis Zouaoui. They’ll definitely have their work cut out for them trying to contain PSG’s attacking trio.
Luis Enrique has also been vocal about keeping his team focused. Despite the recent individual accolades some PSG players have received—like Ousmane Dembélé winning the Ballon d’Or and Vitinha finishing third—the coach insists that collective success is what really matters. He emphasized that the team must stay concentrated on their shared goals rather than get distracted by personal awards, which makes sense with such a packed schedule ahead.
So tonight, all eyes will be on Nuno Mendes’ return and how PSG balances squad rotation with their ambition in both Ligue 1 and the Champions League. Le Havre will come with a determined defense, but the Parc des Princes is a tough place to steal points. It promises to be an intriguing clash, and for PSG fans, seeing their squad depth in action will be exciting.
The match kicks off at 21:05 local time, and it will be interesting to see how Enrique’s strategy plays out on the pitch tonight.
