PSG's number one goalkeeper Keylor Navas is in an awkward position at the moment. Despite giving his best for the Parisian side, the club has brought in massive competition for the Costa Rican in the form of Gianluigi Donnarumma.

While Pochettino deployed Keylor Navas during the initial stages of the competition, it seems the former Spurs boss is knitting a rotational strategy for both of his shot-stoppers.

As per the odds, the former Real Madrid man will be guarding PSG's goalpost in European competitions and domestic outings. This makes Gianluigi Donarumma a favorite in PSG's Ligue 1 matches.

The Italian starlet was handed a debut versus Clermont Foot in PSG's previous Ligue 1 fixture.

While his competitor Keylor Navas had a below-par evening with PSG in their Champions League outing against Club Brugge, Donnarumma's chances of starting against Lyon look very likely.


#2 Neymar and Messi to open their accounts

The 2021-22 season has offered football fans a second chance to witness one of the most dangerous duos in the history of football.

Lionel Messi and Neymar, who wreaked havoc during their days at Barcelona, have reunited once again, this time in a PSG jersey.

However, the duo are taking their time to settle in within new surroundings and fans are yet to see either of them score. Neymar has featured in just one league game and is yet to find the net.

Meanwhile, Messi, who made his first start in Paris Saint-Germain's Champions League game, failed to score as well. The Lyon fixture is seemingly the perfect opportunity for Messi and Neymar to open their goal-scoring accounts.


#1 Sergio Ramos' debut

Real Madrid lost their captain and an influential figure just this summer as Sergio Ramos joined PSG in surprising fashion as a free agent. However, the Spaniard hasn't featured for his new club following an injury.

Ramos is the only newcomer who is yet to play a game for the Parisians. The fans are on the edge of their seats to see what kind of energy a veteran like Sergio Ramos can bring to the pitch.

The football world is waiting to see its once bitter rivals - Sergio Ramos and Lionel Messi - playing for the same side. The Spanish defender looks fit as per recent reports and is likely to feature against Lyon.
