Barça-PSG, pre-match:

It’s now… or next season. Paris Saint-Germain is condemned to an unprecedented feat this Tuesday evening in Barcelona. No French club has managed to qualify for the Champions League after losing the first leg at home.

Beaten 3-2 at the Parc des Princes last week, PSG must therefore win by two goals in Catalonia, or win on penalties if they score a goal in regulation time.

This is the great challenge proposed to PSG, which has dreamed of winning the Champions League for ten years, and which has rarely managed to overthrow this type of mountain. But the Parisians show a certain confidence before this return match, which allows us to believe in it.

Barça-PSG, the probable lineups:

Luis Enrique will review his plans after the first leg defeat. Gone are the disappointing Lee and Asensio, replaced by Bradley Barcola and Warren Zaire-Emery, authors of good entries last Wednesday. But it is in defense that things should change the most. In addition to the return of Achraf Hakimi from suspension, the Parisian coach could change his entire central defense, tossed around in the first leg, by moving from a Beraldo-Hernandez pair to a Marquinhos-Danilo duo.

PSG: Donnarumma – Hakimi, Marquinhos, Danilo, Nuno Mendes – Zaïre-Emery, Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz – Dembélé, Mbappé, Barcola.

On the Barcelona side, there are no surprises to expect. Xavi should field his typical team of the moment, with a change from the first leg. Suspended Sergi Roberto should give way to Pedri, who is returning from a thigh injury.

Barcelona: Stegen – Kound, Araujo, Cubarsi, Cancelo – Gündogan, De Jong, Pedri – Yamal, Lewandowski, Raphinha
