Team News

PSG
Barcelona
  • Neymar has worked hard to recover in time to face former club Barcelona but has been ruled out of the second leg.
  • Moise Kean played a key role in the first leg but will miss out here after recently testing positive for COVID-19.
  • Paris Saint-Germain recovered Angel di Maria from injury after a month out at the weekend in a boost for Mauricio Pochettino's side.
  • Alessandro Florenzi didn't feature at the weekend but he is in the squad to face Barcelona, along with Colin Dagba, though Thilo Kehrer has been tipped to start at right-back.
  • Gerard Pique will miss out for Barcelona in a blow for Ronald Koeman's side, not that his presence did much good in the first leg.
  • Jordi Alba came off injured against Osasuna at the weekend but has made the suqad for Wednesday's game and will likely be fine to start.
  • Barcelona have reverted to a three-man defence in recent weeks but it's unclear whether Koeman is ready to throw Samuel Umtiti into a game of this magnitude.
  • The Spanish giants may well switch back to their usual 4-3-3 formation here, as they did in the second half of their win over Osasuna on Saturday.

Prediction

  • Paris Saint-Germain are in a commanding position in this tie after winning the first leg 4-1 at Camp Nou. However, PSG know a thing or two about chucking away a big advantage in the Champions League to Barcelona.
  • Barcelona have already staged one cup comeback in the last week, albeit coming from 2-0 down to Sevilla in the Copa del Rey to advance to the final, but know the chances of chasing down the deficit here are slim.
  • PSG did actually lose their last home match, 2-0 to Monaco, but surely won't mess it up again from here. Even without Neymar returning, it's hard to see Barcelona keeping them out on Wednesday night.

  • One thing I learned is never to rely on Dembele he will always let you down....

  • @CrazyBarcaFan00 Honestly if they had kept Suarez, they would probably have advanced here and won La Liga

  • @CrazyBarcaFan00 And one thing I've learned is that barca have won 1 champions league in 10 years and you dogs call yourselves "the best club in the world". Please give me a break

  • 6.67 for PSG and 6.55 for Barcelona? Are you f*cking kidding me??? PSG were completely outplayed! If the penalty was retaken as it should have been, Barcelona would have won the game. They would probably not have gone through, but they would have won THIS game! PSG did absolutely nothing.

  • It's laughable to see how many people hate Messi for absolutely no reason. If you like the sport, you should be happy to watch one of the greatest players of all time.

  • @MrNemobody tell that to those who hate ronaldo too

  • @marino95 maybe he's telling it to them too, why do you assume otherwise

  • What a goal tho, 30 yards out, out of nowhere.

  • nice penalty by Mr Missy , reminded me of Copa America hahahha

  • @stefanm wake up! 18.12.2022 ��

  • @stefanm what happened to Mr.Penaldo vs porto?

  • @stefanm what about the 30 yard goal? did better than Ronaldo anyway. :)

  • @stefanm they laugh at ronaldo for penalties but at least he scored them

  • @marino95 true,hahahah

  • Was a good match restored some honor visca barca...9 man park the bus is still unbreakable fir barca...visca barca

  • Brilliant first half by Barca, very poor second half. You can't score if you don't shoot! Koeman's substitutions in the second are questionable to say the least, instead of Puig he puts Moriba and Pjanic on which makes no sense, also Busi was having a great game, why take him off? illogical.

  • Nice to see both CR7 and Leo getting knocked out in Champions. Its time for new kids to take over, these guys have been brilliant for too long.

  • It's about time this tiny team left the CHAMPIONS league hahahahahahaha

  • This time, the most part of the guilty goes to Messi. I hope him goes to Liverpool. Wow, What a Dream, I know

  • So lovely seeing this pathetic club together with Leo Messi getting knocked out again from Champions League!~ :))))

  • @stefanm So satisfying :)

  • best player for psg 2nyt: navas and dembele

  • @tonystarKK LOL no it's clearly Lenglet, PSG's main striker.

  • Give Penssi four more penalties!

  • @Eibarman_Penssi get a life

  • @Reconquest There it is, Penssi

  • @Eibarman_Penssi Did better vs psg than your lord Tapinaldo did vs porto

  • @Mohsin88 HAHA, Penssi boys always make new things, shame on Penssi for not completing another 8-2, nvm won 3:0 , and Penssi did nothing.

  • sad for barca but deserved

  • When Martin Braithwaite came on, I knew Barca had given up. This surely can't be the best they have to offer? Can it?

  • @Fromhell Braithwaite did more in 10 minutes than Griezmann in 90.

  • No goals at second half

  • I don't understand how Dest is playing for Barcelona.

  • @jonejo34 yeah wth did that guy end up on barca

  • @jonejo34 they wanted Aarons but he didn't join :( he is much better than Dest

  • @jonejo34 he's too average haha, imo they only signed him cz he's american, he was just Mazraoui's sub on Ajax, a benchwarmer.

  • @jonejo34 like mingueza, Dembele, lenglet, firpo etc

  • please please rique puig . its his type of game right now

  • @ksjain Here you go :)

  • Oh nvm it's Trincao lol

  • apparently navas was off his line any clearity?

  • @BEE10 nvm verrati was apparently encroaching

  • Lol !red card only @2.77 live at halftime

  • red card plzzzzz kimpembe knows what to do ...laporta transfer the $$$

  • We only need 3 goals in the 2nd half we are still in this...

  • And this is Barca's most dominat 1st half of the season and yet the scoreline is only 1-1. If this was Bayern playing against PSG, they would have score at least 3 goals by now.

  • @Pico09 we need Haaland

  • @CrazyBarcaFan00 barca dont have money for him moi espn has confirmed today and he is best journalist there in catalonia, he said you guys will go after aguero

  • Awful game by Pochettino if I may be honest, PSG is still in game only thanks to Navas~!

  • @stefanm Not the 1st time he does this, remember the final against Liverpool some years ago, the same conservative tactics

  • @dib true

  • Impossible, Penssi missed a penalty. Penssi was 4(4) before this game.

  • @Eibarman_Penssi dude judging by your nickname you have to be really obsessed

  • dont pass to dembz on my mother he is playing against us:)

  • @BEE10 he has finishing of Vinicius Jr haha :D

  • @stefanm navas is also just really good but yeah

  • @BEE10 i agree

  • Barca are pathetic. They could have been winning 3-1 or 4-1 if they had taken their chances. Messi missed a penalty, Dembele missed 2 good chances and overhit a pass that would have resulted in Messi with a 1vs1 with the goalkeeper. You just have to take your chances.

  • Griezmann is a man for penalties!!

  • Leo always fails in key moments in Champions like in recent years.. Hahahahahahah~

  • @stefanm scored from outside box, were was the big game player ronaldo?

  • @stefanm he's playing brilliantly, for the missed penalty Navas takes the whole credit not Messi's fault

  • @TetouanMorocco he failed key moment - penalty end of story, copa america repeats again and again

  • @stefanm hahah. Idiot watch ur own game. When u managed to come out of ur cave?

  • @Taha25 your idol is going home to cry just like CR last night

  • @stefanm get a life u dumba$$

  • @stefanm who? My idol does not play football

  • looks like barca comeback. PSG slowly choking

  • Man, I don't care for Barca but they should be 5-1 ahead already, not even joking

  • @falcon_ranger fr fr Dembele's and the missed penalty, 4goals

  • @TetouanMorocco Also Kurzawa should be off..English refs are for sure the worst

  • @falcon_ranger yes second yellow card was so obvious tbh, weird

  • Ref: Money received, give Penssi a penalty.

  • @Eibarman_Penssi laporta has arrived:) ...also stfu psg got a debateable pen an ref denied a pen on barca

  • @Eibarman_Penssi cringe..

  • messi clown wtf

  • @NuchalLine And dembele is the entire circus.

  • @Youzarix dembele has finishing like vinicius jr

  • @stefanm but they are not like the king of miss Sterling. He does everything to avoid the net.

  • @sampo haha true!

  • psg choke

  • Howard in european competitions = cards and confusion

  • OMG!! what a banger by Messi.

  • Lenglet atleast make one unnecessary foul/handball in penalty area in each game.

  • @newuser He could make three and his daddy Koeman would still start him.

  • Bye bye that's it

  • Lol @ that penalty

  • Damn, had it been Bayern they would have already turned it around. PSG is so bad in this game

  • @falcon_keep crossng your fingers

  • if refs are on their side, uefalona will pull it off lol

  • @NuchalLine apparently they're on uefaris uefaint uefermain side

  • 6-1 for psg

  • If Barcelona make the comeback in this game, my opinion of them will change forever. Not going to happen though. This Barcelona team isn't good enough for that.

  • @uefalona the last comeback was rigged so maybe have a little hope...

  • A lot of goals game

  • I also expect some penalties for Barca :)

  • I expect Messi to shine one last time for Barca, I believe he owns that to the team.

  • @deakyb barca owes to messi the 18/19 UCL, fuck barca g

  • Psg is one of the favorite to win CL so probably a win again with 3 goals scored

  • I wish Barcelona can be at their ultimate best. Like crazy best. Then we HV a chance.

  • If Barcelona wins 0-3. We still don't qualify right. Base on away goals?

  • @nceshNcero barcelona, ironicallly, need to score 4 and concede 0 in order to advance

  • @mookie_bombs Barca should have signed Origi xD

  • @mookie_bombs But also a 1-4 is enough to get us to extra time.

  • 1-4

  • Leo Messi's last Champions League dance with Barcelona. I feel some tension here. Can he save Barcelona? My guess is : Not this time. PSG goes through in style.

  • @Fromhell Messi doesn't bring his A game in away UCL KO matches.

  • if barca qualify, sell psg.

  • @NuchalLine psg will be embarrassed than Barca if Barca goes through

  • Barca will qualify 100% 2-5 ... Dembele hatrick MOTM

  • @CrazyBarcaFan00 oh my god look who's back hahahahahahaha. Loser

  • @Elluso250 trophyless season loading Laporta is back you already know that you are in for years of trophyless seasons

  • @CrazyBarcaFan00 lol. You believe that?

  • @La_Pulga I have no doubt we will qualify 1 million percent.

  • @CrazyBarcaFan00 yoh I am a barca fans but yoh. I hope corruption is on our side today.

  • If PSG Can Score 4 Goals in Away Match, Then Barcelona Also Can Do That.... But When I am thinking About Barcelona Defence I can't Trust Them

  • @SagorSrkian If Lenglet plays, it's a coin toss between him having a brilliant performance or being PSG's best player. The dude doesn't do middle ground.

  • @SagorSrkian you perfectly responded on your second sentence, nothing more to say

  • @Faraz_ap I bet they become better and more unified without Pique on the backline. They need something fresh, someone aggressive.

  • PSG's attack will torture away team's weak defense. That Lenglet - Mingueza line is a complete joke. Busquets, whose job is to protect that weak defense line can run no better than a grandma. Barcelona may score but home team will easily outscore them.

  • @NHJ why you gotta do grandmas dirty like that

  • 1% chance, 99% hope. Remuntarem!

  • hope laporta pays the reff good red card 1st 5 mins would be amazing:) start the prayer ritual boys;)

  • 2-2

  • Barca dogs dreaming of a 'remontada' here

  • PSG are also quite the bottlers so we'll see how this goes:)

  • 4-1; 8-2 on aggregate

  • Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals

  • Its Too Difficult For Barcelona to Score in Away Match in Paris. But Anything can happen in Footballl... Hope Barcelona will Win without conceive any Goal

  • @SagorSrkian I think that the chances of Barca not conceding a goal are none with such a poor defence and against such an offensive team with deadly strikers, and their chances to win are below 10% only if PSG play a bad game and Messi turns to prime himself in 2013

  • Mark this down Barca is gonna win

  • @Ayololuwa lol. You really believe that?

  • @La_Pulga well they can win, 0-1, 1-2, not very hard but that doesn't mean they will qualify :)

  • Hopefully with Neymar Jr back and Di Maria back, PSG is gonna break that Bayerns record here... ~~ :DDD

  • @stefanm lol. I hope they mess up and put mbape on the side

  • Neymar 3-0.
