That’s it, Paris Saint-Germain finally knows the name of its opponent for the quarter-finals of the Champions League. The capital club will face FC Barcelona for a place in the semi-finals.
The two clubs meet once again in the Champions League. The last confrontation between the two teams dates back to the 2020/2021 edition. French and Catalans faced each other in the round of 16 of the tournament.
The Rouge et Bleu had tamed the Blaugranas with a cumulative score of 5 goals to 2. A few hours after the draw, Parisian captain Marquinhos reacted on the microphone of PSG TV.
“I think there is no favorite in this confrontation. It will be important to study our opponent to know how they play, but the main focus is on us. We showed our strength and our values during these two good performances against Real Sociedad,” did he declare.
Before completing: “We have to continue to work, I think that the coach will also want to resolve some details which can make the difference between now and then. We must continue, concentrate on our work and I am convinced that we can achieve great things. »
A very open double confrontation
This Paris Saint-Germain – FC Barcelona is very open. Difficult to identify a favorite in this quarter-final. The two teams know each other very well and have often delivered incredible matches that will go down in history.
It is also a nod for Luis Enrique who is returning to his former club and also Ousmane Dembélé who will play against his former teammates. See you on April 9 or 10 for the first round between the two teams.
