Barcelona travels to the capital of France as they look to continue their superiority over the French heavyweight Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League. The Nou Camp outfit have been too hot to handle for the French champions in their previous encounters in the European competition and people feel that it may be the same this time around. But given the nature of the competition and the unpredictability the knock-out stage brings along with it, there is every chance of a mini-upset occurring over the two legs.
While Barcelona are coming on the back of an absolute whopping of Alaves, where the Spanish champions avenged their defeat at the hands of the same opposition early on in the season, PSG are also in a good run of form and defeated Bordeaux in the weekend thanks to a brace from star striker Edinson Cavani. They moved equal on points with Monaco which later was increased to 3 after a Monaco win but the result would have been a perfect warm-up before the big game.
Interestingly if the last 6 matches are taken into account, PSG are slightly ahead when it comes to current form as they have notched up 5 wins and have drawn 1 of their games. But Barcelona have had 2 draws in the same period coupled with 4 wins.
Predicted 4-3-3 Barcelona Lineup Vs PSG
DEFENCE
Ter Stegen will be in goal and will look to keep up his improving displays which have started coming after a rather shaky start to the season. Enrique faces a right-back conundrum in the future with Vidal looking set to miss the rest of the season.
Sergi Roberto will miss the Copa Del Rey final but he will line-up against PSG and has to be on top of his game. Gerard Pique and Samuel Umtiti will be the central defensive pair and at left-back Jordi Alba will be looking to be his ultra-adventurous self.
Barca have looked susceptible at the back this season and they have to tighten up.
