Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona will meet at the Parc des Princes on Tuesday in one of the standout ties of the UEFA Champions League last 16.
The Ligue 1 champions will be keen to take advantage of having the first leg on home soil, as the atmosphere will be electric in the French capital for this meeting. It’s the kind of occasion the club drafted in manager Unai Emery for, with the coach previously excelling on the European stage.
Barcelona, by contrast, will fancy their chances of taking an away goal and a positive result back to Catalonia. If they do that, PSG will find it extremely difficult to turn the tie around.
Team News
PSG: Emery rested Thiago Silva for Friday’s showdown with Bordeaux, and the captain will likely return to partner Marquinhos in central defence. The manager has some big decisions in midfield, especially with Thiago Motta suspended.
Likely XI: Kevin Trapp; Thomas Meunier, Marquinhos, Thiago Silva, Layvin Kurzawa; Marco Verratti, Blaise Matuidi, Adrien Rabiot; Angel Di Maria, Julian Draxler, Edinson Cavani
Barcelona: In a big boost for manager Luis Enrique, Andres Iniesta and Sergio Busquets are ready to feature again following their recent injury layoffs. Elsewhere in the side, Sergi Roberto will step in for the injured Aleix Vidal, while Ivan Rakitic will most likely get the nod in midfield.
Likely XI: Marc-Andre ter Stegen; Sergi Roberto, Gerard Pique, Samuel Umtiti, Jordi Alba; Sergio Busquets, Andres Iniesta, Ivan Rakitic; Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Neymar
