Despite Bradley Barcola’s standout performance as the best player for PSG against Nantes, scoring a goal, his starting position in the Champions League against Dortmund is far from guaranteed.
With Luis Enrique at the helm, unexpected decisions are always possible. The absence of Ousmane Dembélé due to suspension could open up an opportunity for the young player, but Luis Enrique has shown a knack for surprising line-up choices.
“Bradley Barcola opened his goal-scoring account with PSG, and in a well-stocked attack, his attitude and progress show that he has a role to play,” states Le Parisien. After his misses against Newcastle, the player has indeed bounced back.
However, L’Equipe is more cautious, noting that the competition and the importance of the last group stage match in the Champions League, where PSG will play for qualification to the knockout stages, might not necessarily favor Barcola, who lacks experience in such crucial encounters. Nevertheless, if he participates, this significant test could also be an opportunity for him to demonstrate his capabilities to establish himself. Barcola might come off the bench to try to make an impact if PSG needs it.
