PSG likely lineup v Pays de Cassel: Mbappe, Messi and Neymar to face minnows

The dream tie that awaits sixth-tier Pays de Cassel will see the northerners take on the Ligue 1 leaders at Lens’ Stade Bollaert tomorrow night, and with Christophe Galtier unwilling to rotate this time round they’ll be facing the very best that PSG have to offer.

With his team stringing together two away defeats since the turn of the year, the manager is intent on playing his best possible side in order to get them in the groove again after some post-World Cup struggles.

This means the outfit based in a village in French Flanders, near the Belgian border, will be taking on none other that Kylian Mbappé, Lionel Messi and Neymar, on top of PSG’s other stars. The first-choice XI sees Marco Verratti and Presnel Kimpembe remain absent from injury.

The amateur team’s captain and centre-back, Alexis Zmijak, is coincidentally a PSG ultra himself and scored the winner in the Round of 64 against Wasquehal. They had previously seen off Chaumon and Drancy in the seventh and eighth rounds respectively.
