Prediction: 2-2
PSG
Barcelona will look to defend their slim lead in the tie with PSG when the two teams face each other at Parc des Princes in the Champions League quarter-finals, return leg at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys. Barca are eyeing their sixth consecutive win in all competitions, but Tuesday’s clash will be anything but a walk in the park for the Catalan outfit. All Joao Cancelo, Pedri, Yamal, and Robert Lewandowski return to the starting XI, while both Sergi Roberto and Andreas Christensen are banned for the reverse fixture.
Les Parisiens, on the other hand, have no other option but to adopt an attack-oriented approach in the second leg. Given PSG’s attacking potential with Ousmane Dembele and Kylian Mbappe up front, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. Both Layvin Kurzawa and Sergio Rico remain in the recovery room, while there are no fresh injury worries in the away team. The good news for the Ligue 1 champions is that important wing-back Achraf Hakimi is back from suspension.
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.
