BAR vs PSG (Source- Twitter)
FC Barcelona will be hosting Pari Saint-Germain in the 2nd leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals. The Blaugranes are ahead by 3-2 coming into their home ground. The defending La Liga champions's form in the ongoing season has been full of ups and downs, as they are eight points behind their arch rivals Real Madrid. But in the UCL they have been at their best as they are in the verge of qualifying for the semi-finals.
In the first leg they were brilliant marking Kylian Mbappe as the French winger did not have the best time against Ronald Araujo, Jules Kounde and Pau Cubarsi as they were in their absolute best against the fiery attacking side of PSG. The home side will be much more confident in the 2nd leg as they will be at home and provide Xavi the best farewell by winng the UCL as the Spanish head coach announced his departure from the club after the season.
Luis Enrique will be coming back home as the current PSG coach has spent almost half of his playing and coaching for Barca and he was the last coach who won the UCL for the side and since then they are yet to win it. He will be hoping for some miracle as he did on the other side when Barca were trailing 4-0 and they came back and win it 6-1 at home.
FC Barcelona vs Paris Saint-Germain: Prediction
Mbappe needs to step up for the side as the winger has been the best player for the club this season. He has scored 39 goals in 40 appearances in all competitions for the side and will be the main man for the side on Tuesday. Ousmane Dembele will also have a home coming as the former Barca man scored one goal and did restricted him from celebration.
Barca's defence will once again on a difficult task as they need to stop the French winger as they did in Paris, with Raphinha who rattled the defence of PSG will love to score again the club.
