Parisian supporters were hoping for the “little thumb” Borussia Dortmund, but they are not going to be choosy by meeting FC Barcelona. Friday, during the draw in Nyon at UEFA headquarters, Paris SG inherited Barça as their opponent in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. If the name and prestige remain eternal for the Catalan club, it must be said that Barcelona has lost its splendor in recent years. The Spanish club had been waiting for four years to return to the quarter-finals. PSG is logically the favorite for this double confrontation, the first of which will take place at the Parc des Princes.

It is a poster which obviously recalls the comeback, in 2017 (4-0; 1-6), with Luis Enrique as coach of the Catalans. But PSG had washed away the affront four years later (1-4; 1-1).

If Paris passes the Barca test, it will face, in the semi-finals, the winner of the duel between Atlético de Madrid and Borussia Dortmund.

The shock of these quarter-finals is undoubtedly the Real-Madrid-Manchester City duel which is starting to become a habit. This will be the 7th and 8th time that the two clubs will face each other since 2020. Last season, the Citizen won the duel in the semi-final (1-1, 4-0), while Real who had the last word the previous season in the semi-finals (3-4, 3-1 after). The defending champion is slightly favorite ahead of the record holder for victories in C1 (14).
