FC Barcelona hosts PSG this Tuesday, April 16 for the quarter-final second leg of the Champions League. Paris has its back against the wall after its defeat in the first leg (2-3).
FC Barcelona made a big blow in the first leg against PSG. The victory at the Parc des Princes (3-2) puts the Blaugranas on the right track before hosting the Parisians. The Barcelonans have a 76.5% chance of qualifying according to Opta’s AI and therefore of joining the last four of the Champions League for the first time in five years. In the Championship this weekend, Xavi’s men won 1-0 against the 18th. “We have a war to fight on Tuesday. We want to do something big. This match comes when we are in our best form this season,” Xavi said before the match.
Opposite PSG had more time to prepare for this quarter-final return because the Professional Football League had postponed the Ligue 1 match against Lorient. The Parisians will have to snatch a one-goal victory to secure an extension and two goals to be able to return to the semi-finals of the Champions League four years later. History is not on the side of the capital club as Paris lost seven times when they lost the first leg of a European knockout tie. “I have no doubt that we can qualify. Everyone is speculating, but for example we haven’t lost away in the Championship. We have six days to prepare. Away goals no longer count double, this allows the confrontation to remain open,” declared Luis Enrique after the setback of the first leg.
