Amidst several injury crisis, current UEFA Champions League champion PSG will get on the road to possibly one of their toughest face offs of the campaign.
Match News
Barcelona are not really as effective going forward yet this term, but they still remain to be beaten so far and have managed 7 wins and a draw. One of the wins came in Matchday one of the UEFA Champions League against Newcastle which ended 2-1.
They currently sit on top of the La Liga table and have lost only one of their last 12 home matches in the Group/League Phase of the Champions League, after winning eight and drawing three.
On the other hand, Barcelona legend Luis Enrique will try to lead his French side to victory against the Catalonians and will be going into this one in high spirits after a tremendous 4-0 win over Atalanta on Matchday one. They have also won their last two games in the competition with a combined scoreline of 9-0. They will try to set the record as the second team to ever win three consecutive games in the Champions League by a 4+ goal margin. They have won five of their last six away games in the competition and this may not be much of a challenge for them.
Head-to-Head, Lineups, and Injuries
Barcelona have gotten more wins than PSG in the overall stakes winning 6, with 4 draws between them while PSG has won 5 of their previous meetings.
