DECRYPTION – With its back to the wall, Paris is condemned to the feat, Tuesday in Barcelona, to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League. Impossible mission ? Not necessarily.
Cold shower. Ambitious and confident, PSG was surprised by FC Barcelona (2-3) on Wednesday, in the quarter-final first leg of the Champions League. The end of a series of 27 matches without defeat, a first setback since the beginning of November. Knowing that Barça remains on five victories in a row and 12 matches without defeat, and that the capital club has never reversed the situation in the return match in C1 after losing at the Parc des Princes in the first leg, the path of semi-finals seems clogged. Especially since Pedri should be able to start next Tuesday (9 p.m.), at the Monjuic stadium, Frenkie de Jong having a week to perfect his physical condition. Warned on Wednesday, Sergi Roberto and Andreas Christensen will be missing, but Xavi has plenty to do. However, all is not lost. “I am confident, we have the team for it, we will go to Barcelona to win and qualify”, insists Lucas Hernandez. Coué method? No, there are reasons for hope.
