PSG vs Barcelona Prediction & Picks - Champions League

For this quarter-final first leg of the Champions League, PSG will still not be able to count on Sergio Rico and Presnel Kimpembe. Nordi Mukiele was injured against Clermont Foot and remains uncertain for this match. To make matters worse, Achraf Hakimi will be suspended during the first round. Warren Zaire-Emery could therefore take his place as right back. In terms of good news, Bradley Barcola should return from injury. To put himself in the best possible condition before the trip to Barcelona, ​​Luis Enrique will need his stars to shine. Having a great season, Gianluigi Donnarumma will try to shine in the Parisian goal. Up front, Kylian Mbappé (39 goals and 9 assists) and Ousmane Dembélé (1 goal and 13 assists) will be ones to follow very closely as they can make a difference at any time.

Concerning FC Barcelona, ​​we will have to make do with the absences of Alejandro Balde and Gavi. They won't be back by the end of the season. Andreas Christensen and Pedri are still uncertain before this first leg. Frenkie de Jong should indeed be back. He could even start in midfield. Xavi will rely in particular on his young talents to put pressure on the Parisians. Pau Cubarsí has ​​managed to find a place in the central hinge, where he is very solid and Lamine Yamal is brilliant on his wing. Obviously, Barca will also be able to count on their experienced players, including Robert Lewandowski. The Polish striker still has 20 goals and 9 assists in all competitions.
