Prediction: 1-0
Barcelona
All eyes will be on Parc des Princes when Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona square off against each other in the Champions League quarter-finals, first leg. Les Parisiens are on the right track to defend their Bundesliga trophy, but they have big ambitions for the Champions League playoffs as well. All Marquinhos, Kang-In Lee, and Kylian Mbappe return to the starting XI after the quartet came off the bench in a 1-1 draw with Clermont at the weekend, while Achraf Hakimi misses out through suspension.
Barca, meanwhile, set up a meeting with PSG by beating Napoli in the double-header. The Catalan giants aim to give fans yet another reason to celebrate, but seeing that PSG are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we are tempted to place our bets on Luis Enrique’s charges. All Gavi, Alejandro Balde, and Andreas Christensen are sidelined with injuries, while Pedri faces race against the clock to be fit for Wednesday’s clash.
Highlighted Player (Kylian Mbappé):
Kylian Mbappe is a French footballer who plays for Paris Saint-Germain as a forward. The French rising star began his youth career at AS Bondy and in 2013 he moved to AS Monaco. After making 12 appearances for Monaco B, Kylian Mbappe made his debut for the senior team in 2015. Mbappe quickly established himself as a regular goalscorer, with the teenager finding the net 15 times in 29 appearances in the Ligue 1 in the 2016/2017 season.
In 2017 he moved to fellow French club PSG on loan, with the option of making the deal permanent. Kylian Mbappe scored 13 goals in 27 appearances for les Parisiens in the 2017/2018 and it has to be noted that Unai Emery’s troops eventually won the national championship.
Speaking of his international career, Mbappe played an important role for France at the 2018 FIFA World Cup finals, with the pacey rising star scoring a brace in a thrilling 4-3 win over Argentina in the last 16 of the showpiece tournament. The PSG attacker was born in Paris on December 20, 1998.
Highlighted Team (Barcelona):
Barcelona is a Spanish football club based in Barcelona, Catalonia. Barca were founded in 1899 and they are regarded as one of the greatest clubs in world football. The Catalan giants won their 24th La Liga title in 2016, with Luis Suarez winning “El Pichichi” award. Barcelona have won five European Cup trophies and a number of top-class players were part of the team in the past.
The likes of Hristo Stoichkov, Romario, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Johan Cruyff, Diego Maradona and Pep Guardiola are some of many players that played for Barca in the past, but, no doubt, Leo Messi has established himself as the club’s trademark. Barcelona welcome their rivals at Camp Nou, the stadium that was built in 1957.
Barcelona’s local rivals are Espanyol, but the rivalry between Barca and Real Madrid is much bigger. The two La Liga giants face each other in “El Clasico”, which is considered one of the most exciting derbies in the world football. Barca are famous for their football youth school La Masia as well.
