Overview of Barcelona against PSG
The boss of Barcelona Hansi Flick knows that his team has the chance to deposit a marker in the Champions League tomorrow when they welcome the champions in title PSG.
Barça lost in a pulsating semi-final at Inter Milan last season while the Parisians then asked for the trophy for the first time, beating the 5-0 Nerazzuri in the final.
Despite this, Barça is favorites to win the trophy with certain bookmakers, a factual film is inevitable.
He told a press conference: “We are Barça and we are still among the favorites, but the road is very long and we have to work hard.”
The last time the teams met was during the 2023/24 campaign when PSG gained 6-4 in aggregate after a 4-1 victory in Catalonia against a Barça team trained by Xavi.
Flick added: “We are not looking at the past, everything has changed, PSG, the players, Barça … We are not looking at the past.
“It will not be easy tomorrow because they are a team that will dispute the ball, but from the first second, we have to play our highest level, it’s the Champions League and that’s what I expect from my players.”
The match is likely to be summed up in the battle in the midfield with the PSG boss, and the former coach of Barça Luis Enrique, desperately hoping that his first trio of João Neves, Fabian Ruiz and Vitinha are all available after injury problems.
The key man of Barça in this area is Pedri, who gave a masterful display during the 2-1 victory in Newcastle a fortnight ago.
Flick said about the Spanish international: “He improved a lot, everyone sees it: how he plays with the ball. For a team, it is important to have leaders, it’s part of the task of the captains. I always speak to them and when they have a clear opinion, they transmit it. They transmit their thoughts, it’s important.”
