FC Barcelona will not be impressed by the presence of Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappé in the quarter-final of the UEFA Champions League.
The Blaugrana will meet the Ligue 1 giants in the quarter-finals, which will constitute a major test for the Catalans. Despite the focus on Xavi Hernandez’s departure this summer, FC Barcelona are well placed to secure a top-four finish and attempt to win the Champions League.
With the pressure of defending the La Liga title having eased, Xavi and his players can now focus on their Champions League ambitions. Barcelona have the advantage of a home leg, but the prospect of standing up to Mbappé is daunting.
Barça does not fear Mbappé
However, despite the specter of Mbappé’s determination to win the Champions League before leaving Paris this summer, FC Barcelona vice-president Rafa Yuste is confident in his ability to fend him off.
“Barcelona can stop the attacks of Mbappé and PSG. He’s a great player, but we look at it as a team.”according to quotes from Marca. “Our defense conceded very few goals last season. We have to be very serious in both matches and do what is right for the team. » Barcelona have already faced PSG ten times in the Champions League, with four victories to their name, including the incredible comeback of the “Remontada” in 2017.
