PSG vs Barcelona Analysis
PSG Preview
The Champions League continues to be the one honor that has evaded PSG throughout the QSI era. Their closest challenge came when losing in the final against Bayern Munich, but they could have a relatively straightforward passage through to the final this season after avoiding both Man City and Real Madrid.
The Parisians needed their fair share of luck to progress in the UCL standings before Christmas, after finishing second in the standings, and ahead of AC Milan on goal difference.
But, their home form throughout the tournament has been excellent this season. The UCL team stats show that they have gone four without a defeat in Paris, winning on three occasions across that period.
However, there will still be bad memories of this fixture for some of the PSG players. The Parisians were handed their heaviest ever European defeat when losing 6-1 against Barcelona in 2017, which saw them surrender a 4-0 first leg advantage.
Barcelona Preview
Barcelona have shown that they are back among the leading contenders in Europe this season. The Spanish champions topped their group in the opening round after winning four of their six matches. However, both defeats that they did suffer did come on the road.
But, the Barcelona scores did improve in the knockout round, as they showed their character to claim a 4-2 aggregate success against Napoli. However, this will require another step up.
Barcelona do have one of the leaders in the UCL player stats to call upon this week, as no player in the competition has registered more assists in the Champions League this term than Raphinha.
It is also a notable fixture for Barcelona, as it marks the club’s first appearance in the quarterfinal stage of the Champions League since August 2020 when they suffered their heaviest ever European defeat against Bayern Munich. A big plus is the fact that they have no further UCL injuries to contend with.
