Champions League PSG-Barcelona
It can almost be said that a classic Champions League match will be held on Wednesday evening. The PSG - FC Barcelona match could be one of the most exciting clashes of the Champions League quarter-finals, if the teams think so.
The rivalry between PSG and Barcelona has grown to large proportions in the past ten years. These two teams have met in the knockout stages four times since 2013 and once in the group stage. There was also a match in 1995. Barcelona leads 3-2 in the knockout stages.
Another spectacle awaits us. On paper, PSG may not have as many stars as before, when Messi and Neymar were in this team, but with Mbappé as the leader, the team seems much more harmonious. They easily win the Ligue 1 championship, and have not suffered a defeat in the last 27 matches, which is a fantastic result.
Barcelona is also in good form, but they are 8 points behind Real Madrid, which is too much for this stage of LaLiga. It will be difficult to win the title, but the Champions League is always a good chance for the Catalan team. In the round of 16, they easily defeated Napoli 4-2.
A few days ago, PSG only played a 1-1 draw at home against Clermont, but it was obvious that Luis Enrique was saving his cards, and apart from Mbappé, there was no other player who formed the backbone of the team. The rest before the important Champions League match is obvious, and Barcelona arrives in Paris with the aim of achieving a positive result. It will be difficult to break through the defensive midfielders and the last line of Barcelona, but Mbappé is likely the strongest player on the field, and with the help of his teammates, he can at least bring a minimal advantage to PSG before the clash. Catalonia.
Hakimi's absence due to yellow cards could be PSG's biggest problem. In addition to him, Kimpembe, Kurzawa and Rico are not in the lineup against Barcelona due to various injuries.
Balde will miss this match due to a muscle injury. Christensen has a slightly more serious Achilles tendon injury. Gavi is also out due to a knee injury. Pedri is questionable for this match.
Honestly, I wouldn't dare to say who will be the advancing team (miracles have happened), but I believe the first match will end with a victory for Paris.
