US EditionPSG coach Luis Enrique must decide whether to protect lead or attack against Monaco
Luis Enrique must balance PSG’s attacking style with guarding against Monaco’s quick counterattacks while managing injuries and goalkeeper rotation.
- On Wednesday, PSG coach Luis Enrique may be unsure whether to protect a slim 3-2 aggregate lead in the playoff, given Monaco's threat from rapid counterattacks.
- This month, Monaco's first goal last Tuesday saw left back Caio Henrique exploiting space behind Achraf Hakimi, highlighting their recent attacking bursts.
- Fati has nine goals in 20 games and Balogun is back in form, offering Monaco multiple attacking options, which Pocognoli could deploy.
- In response, Luis Enrique could tell his fullbacks Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Gomes to stay deeper, while goalkeeper rotation between Safonov and Chevalier complicates PSG's defense.
- PSG's injury list complicates selection choices for the second leg, with Ousmane Dembélé injured and a Ballon d'Or winner missing last Saturday's match due to a calf injury.
