FC Barcelona news
This is the first time in three years that Barcelona has progressed to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. More alarmingly they got knocked on in the group stage in the previous two seasons.
In this campaign, they topped a group consisting of Porto, Shakhtar Donetsk, and Royal Antwerp winning four and losing two of their six group games. Xavi's side then beat Napoli 5-2 on aggregate in the last 16 stages before being paired up with PSG in the quarter-finals.
The task on Wednesday will be even harder with Gavi (ACL) and Alejandro Balde (hamstring) out with injuries.
Predicted PSG vs FC Barcelona lineups
- PSG: Donnarumma; Zaire-Emery, Marquinhos, Skriniar, Mendes; Lee, Ugarte, Vitinha; Dembele, Ramos, Mbappe.
- FC Barcelona: Ter Stegen; Kounde, Cubarsi, Araujo, Cancelo; De Jong, Gundogan, Lopez; Yamal, Lewandowski, Raphinha.
Both sides have a clear path to the Champions League final as Real Madrid, Arsenal, and Man City are on the other side of the draw. As a result, there will be even more of an incentive for both teams to progress.
