Ligue 1 2025-2026: Nantes-PSG, the likely lineups.

Early kickoff at 8:45 p.m. for Nantes–Paris Saint Germain, the debut match of the French and d’European champions in Ligue 1 2025-2026. Luis Enrique’s team is fresh from winning the European Super Cup on penalty kicks against Tottenham, and aims to repeat last season’s dream season.

Some things have changed in recent months: in goal there is no longer Gianluigi Donnarumma but Lucas Chevalier, paid 40 million euros. In defense Marquinhos and Mendes form the central pair, with Hakimi and Mendes on the flanks. In attack, the trident is formed by Doué, Dembélé and Barcola.

Nantes lined up with a 4-3-3 with the trident formed by Guirassy, Mohamed, Abline. The hosts have not been particularly bright in the preseason, and fans have complained about the disappointing market.
