Enrique unleashes Mayulu and Barcola as PSG's starting XI is confirmed to face Sporting. See the full lineups.

The official team lineups for Sporting vs. Paris Saint-Germain, the Champions League Matchday 7 fixture, have just been revealed, and Luis Enrique has chosen to start Senny Mayulu, as well as Bradley Barcola.

With kickoff scheduled for 9 p.m. this Tuesday, the official team lineups for Sporting vs. PSG have just been confirmed by UEFA.

As always, Luis Enrique has made a few changes compared to the last match, but this does not concern Ilya Zabarnyi in defense, as it is still Zaïre-Emery who starts. This confirms Senny Mayulu in the starting eleven for this match.

Regarding the rest of PSG's lineup against Sporting Portugal, Chevalier will be in goal, protected by a defense composed of Zaïre-Emery, Marquinhos, Pacho, and Nuno Mendes from right to left.

In midfield, Mayulu will be on the right, Vitinha in the center, and Fabian Ruiz on the left side. In attack, Dembélé is central, Désiré Doué on the right, and Barcola on the left side. Kvaratskhelia is therefore a substitute.

PSG's confirmed lineup vs. Sporting: Chevalier; Zaïre-Emery, Marquinhos, Pacho, Nuno Mendes; Mayulu, Vitinha, Ruiz - Doué, Dembélé, Barcola.

On the Sporting side, the lineup that will challenge PSG is more or less the one announced by the day's press, with Rui Borges having to face a very high number of absences.

As expected, Reis is indeed in central defense with Inacio, while the flanks will be occupied by Fresneda and Mangas. In midfield, Simoes will pair with Morita behind Trincao as the No. 10. Luis Suarez will be up front, Geny Catamo on the right, and Maxi Araujo on the left.

Sporting's confirmed lineup vs. PSG: Rui Silva; Fresneda, Inacio, Reis, Mangas; Simoes, Morita; Geny, Trincao, Maxi Araujo; Luis Suarez.
