The Parc des Princes is preparing to host one of the most anticipated shocks of this league phase of the Champions League. This Tuesday evening, PSG, leader of the ranking, welcomes FC Barcelona, its runner-up, for a poster between two contenders for the first places. If the Parisians will have to deal with the absence of Nuno Mendes, Barça will also present themselves with several absentees. Hansi Flick nevertheless called up a particularly competitive group, including Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, Gordon and Adeyemi in attack. In midfield, Pedri, Rodri, Fermín López, Gavi, Dani Olmo and Frenkie de Jong are also on the list.
In defense, on the other hand, the Catalans are diminished: Jules Koundé, Eric Garcia and Andreas Christensen are out. João Cancelo, Xavi Espart, Pau Cubarsí and Alejandro Baldé are present for this meeting, as is Gerard Martín, whose presence has finally been confirmed. Despite these significant absences in the defensive sector, the Catalan club will therefore be able to rely on several solutions to try to compete with PSG in this duel at the top.
