Barcelona took a 3-2 lead into Tuesday’s second leg after impressing in Paris and the door to the first semi-final since 2018/19 is wide opened.
The Champions League quarter-finals first patch will decide who advances as Xavi’s side holding big hope with a slight advantage.
Barcelona vs PSG
Barcelona take a 3-2 lead into the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie against Paris Saint-Germain after coming from behind in the French capital.
Xavi’s liberated Catalans have one step in the semi-finals following last Wednesday’s impressive display in Paris, and they were victorious yet again at the weekend with Joao Felix’s acrobatic effort helping Barca to a 1-0 win over Cadiz.
The La Liga champions are now 13 games unbeaten since Xavi announced his decision to step down as manager at the end of the season.
Barca had the benefits of a prolonged rest heading into the first leg, and PSG enjoyed the weekend off ahead of Tuesday’s trip to Catalonia. Luis Enrique’s half-time switches inspired a quick recovery in the first leg. Still, Raphinha’s second strike of the night and Andreas Christensen’s header mean the Ligue 1 leaders have a deficit to overturn on foreign land.
