Le PSG peut-il se permettre de faire tourner à Strasbourg ? – 16/10
Summary
L'After Foot analyzes the PSG's 4-2 win over Manchester City and debates whether Luis Enrique should rotate his squad for the upcoming Ligue 1 match against Strasbourg. The hosts argue that while the Champions League is a separate competitive tier, the current turnover strategy risks underperforming in domestic games due to the significant gap between starters and substitutes. A listener predicts a mixed lineup with key starters returning to secure a league lead, while others emphasize the need to rest the core group ahead of the crucial match against Barcelona.
