When where
Barcelona-PSG, last 16 of the Champions League
New camp
February 18, 2 pm
The memory returns from the draw for the knockout stages of the Champions League. When Barcelona-PSG meet again, the memory of the last visit of the two teams will come. After winning 4-0 at home, PSG lost the match 6-1 at the end, Barça took an epic victory. However, after that match, a lot of water flowed into the Sin River. Neymar has moved from Barcelona to Paris, he has changed much more. That Neymar is not here this time, but PSG is back at New Camp. What will happen then?
Whatever happens on the pitch today, Barcelona has confirmed one thing off the pitch. Firecrackers were set off outside the PSG hotel the day before the match. I tried to make sure, the day before the game so that the MBAP dream is not very good!
However, these may not affect the battle on the field. In the context in which the two teams meet, a fierce battle can be expected. When the two teams tied in the round of 16, Barça fans weren’t very confident. Barça seeks to lose form, Messi does not score a goal in the open goal. That situation has changed a lot now. Barça have lost just one of their last 16 matches in the Spanish Super Cup against Sevilla. They have won their last seven La Liga games, PSG warmed up before the game by beating Alavés 5-1. More importantly, Messi’s legs look old. Two great goals against Alavés remind me of that irresistible form. For Messi, of course, this match could be different. The contract with Barça is coming to an end this season, then there are rumors that he will go to PSG. Will something like this happen again when Ronaldo suffered with Juventus before leaving Real?
If there is a problem with Bar বার a, it is an injury. Coutinho has been out for a long time, with defender Ronald Arauho eliminated before the game. Koman may have a little problem with the central defender. However, the Bar ্স a coach has received good news that Gerard Piqué has started training with the team. Although the chances of seeing it in the XI are slim.
Injuries have been a big problem for PJC for a long time. Although all the best footballers in the world are in the team, PSG has made them all fit in for a very short time. Just as Neymar retired just before this match, so does Anhel de Maria. However, Veratti has started training with the team, PSG has put him on the party squad.
However, PSG coach Maurizio Pachettino knows that this match is more than a litmus test for him. The domestic league has become a huge part of PSG’s ancestral property, so they don’t have to worry too much about it. Although form is not going very well in the league this season, PSG’s main objective is the Champions League. Thomas Tukhel did not win the title in the final of last season, he had to leave a few days ago. Pachettino knows he will face the same fate if he doesn’t win the title. “It is clear that we want the title much more,” he said. That’s what the fans want. We have forgotten what happened before, now we just want to look forward. ”
