Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona are set to clash in a highly anticipated UEFA Champions League quarterfinal match at Parc des Princes on Tuesday. The fixture will see former Barcelona coach Luis Enrique, who famously oversaw the “Remontada” against PSG in 2017, now leading the Parisian side against his former teammate Xavi in a tactical battle.
PSG, who recently defeated Real Sociedad 4-1 on aggregate in the round of 16, will be looking to secure a semifinal berth in what could be their last chance to win the Champions League with star player Kylian Mbappe before his expected move to Real Madrid in the summer. Mbappe, who has been in sensational form, scored three goals against Sociedad and is currently leading the Ligue 1 scoring chart.
Barcelona, on the other hand, are on an 11-game unbeaten streak across all competitions under Xavi’s management. The Catalans last reached the UCL quarterfinals in 2021, where they were defeated by PSG 5-2 on aggregate. With both teams in good form, the upcoming match is expected to be a closely contested affair.
The match is scheduled for Wednesday, Apr. 10, at 3 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on Paramount+. PSG are the favorites with odds of -105, while Barcelona are priced at +250. With both teams fielding strong lineups, fans can expect an exciting encounter between two European giants.
