Tactical Analysis and Key Matchups
Luis Enrique knows what it takes to win this competition as a manger after tasting success with Barcelona in 2015, but can he do the same with PSG?
His possession-based approach has worked well so far, and he’ll be aiming to make an early impact in this game against his former club.
Xavi has confirmed that he’ll be leaving Barcelona at the end of the season, and the Champions League appears to be his last chance of glory.
He’ll be hoping to get one over on his former teammate and manager. His Barcelona side are direct, but that could leave them open against a PSG attack led by Kylian Mbappe.
Player Form and Impact
PSG will be relying on Mbappe to fire them into the semi-finals and if he leaves this summer, he’ll be eager to leave on a high.
His goals have got PSG flying at home, but they’re still missing out on a Champions League trophy.
For Barcelona, Robert Lewandowski is the main man in front of goal, but they’ll be hoping that Pedri, the brilliant youngster, can have a say on the tie.
Predictions and Expectations
This feels like a game too far for Barcelona against a PSG side who’ve kept their best football for the Champions League.
Barcelona have been inconsistent this season and that could cost them against a confident PSG side.
