The European future of FC Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain will not be decided on the lawn of the Montjuic stadium next Wednesday, but the shock of the second day of the C1 league phase generates a lot of expectations. On the Catalan side, the Blaugranas still have the lost semi-final across the throat against Inter. Unsurprisingly, they therefore want to compete with the European champions. For the Parisians, the match against Barça is the second big meeting of their hellish calendar in C1 (with the meeting against Bayern Munich) and it would be fashionable to achieve a good performance in Catalonia.

Only concern, Luis Enrique must deal with cascade injuries. If João Neves and Bradley Barcola (absent against OM) should be returned, the Spanish coach is certain to have to do without Ousmane Dembélé and undoubtedly Désiré Doué. Second in the general classification, PSG will not in any case take no risk at this time of the season for the former Rennais. On the other hand, a new tile is to be deplored in the red and blue: the Marquinhos package.

Raphinha and Joan Garcia Packages against PSG

In Barcelona, ​​Hansi Flick must also manage physical seeds. Starting with that of Lamine Yamal, returned injured from the last international truce. The Spanish prodigy has still not trained with his teammates, but the local press assures that he is doing everything to be there against PSG. This morning, he even sent a very positive message to the coplet fans in a story posted on his Instagram account. “”Hey, I'm back». Except that yesterday, Raphinha added to the list of wounded before challenging PSG.

Released shortly after the hour of play against Oviedo, the Brazilian saw his coach justify his replacement with a “Technical decision”. But according to the Jijant Spanish media, the Brazilian is already forfeited for this shock. His return would even be expected for the return of the international break. He should not be the only one since the Catalan porter, Joan Garcia, will also be absent after being injured this Friday morning in training. The 24-year-old goalkeeper will not know his first summons to the Spanish selection this month. Gavi and Fermin are also packages, but it will also be necessary to follow the latest information concerning the state of Alejandro Balde, absent since the beginning of the month … Suffice to say that Hansi Flick, like Luis Enrique, should be brought to tinker on Wednesday.
