On Tuesday, the Parc des Princes will be the scene of a meeting between the two best teams in the world currently. Paris Saint-Germain will host FC Barcelona for what has become a classic of European football. And while the Blaugrana have won all their matches this season, PSG took a little time to get going.
Paris continues
But against Manchester City, Luis Enrique’s men confirmed their return to grace and scored a fifth consecutive success. Enough to impress the world of football and the press, which was largely inflamed after this resounding victory. In Catalonia, the imminent clash with the reigning double European champion is already on everyone’s minds.
A high-flying clash
And if we are to believe the information from SportPSG players are aware that they will face a world-class opponent. “The respect for Barcelona is total”we can read in the columns of the Spanish daily. Despite a positive record against the Spanish club in recent years, Paris approaches this meeting without feeling favorite and being aware of the progress made by Hansi Flick’s Barça.
Last season, the Parisians won (2-1) on Barcelona’s pitch in the league phase of the Champions League. Barça has only won one of the last five meetings between the two teams, a quarter-final first leg in 2024.
