Paris Saint-Germain continues to have a spectacular 2025, with their minds set on their goals for the remainder of the season.
Now, Luis Enrique’s team is preparing for a key match in the UEFA Champions League against Stuttgart, a duel in which they will seek to secure their qualification for the tournament’s playoffs.
Prior to the match, defender Lucas Hernandez spoke about the team’s mentality and the importance of getting a win in Germany.
Aware that it will be a difficult match, the French player made it clear that PSG is focused on getting a positive result and advancing to the next round.

PSG’s possible starting XI according to French newspapers
The leading French newspapers have revealed the possible line-up that PSG could take to the pitch with. RMC Sport, Le Parisien and L’Equipe are betting on these players:
- Gianluigi Donnarumma
- Achraf Hakimi
- Marquinhos
- Willian Pacho
- Lucas Hernandez
- Vitinha
- Joao Neves
- Warren Zaire-Emery
- Desire Doue
- Ousmane Dembele
- Bradley Barcola
This time they present a combination of experience and youth, highlighting the presence of Willian Pacho in defense and Desire Doue in the offensive line, as the 3 newspapers suggest.
The big absence will be Nuno Mendes, who will not be able to play due to an accumulation of yellow cards after being cautioned against Manchester City and the big absence of starter Goncalo Ramos.
PSG is one step away from qualifying
With 10 points in the group, PSG has a favorable outlook and a draw is enough to ensure their qualification to the playoffs.
However, the team cannot be complacent, as anything can happen in the UEFA Champions League. A win in Germany would be key to strengthening their confidence and consolidating their path in the competition.
For its part, Stuttgart, which occupies position number 24 in the UEFA rankings, will seek to spring a surprise and will take advantage of its home field to compete in the fight for qualification.
The match will be played on January 29, in a match that promises to be high intensity and with a lot at stake for both teams.
