Probable line-ups for Barcelona and PSG in Champions League clash
The two sides will be missing some key players in the French capital
Barcelona will attempt the impossible on Wednesday at Parque des Princes. Ronald Koeman’s side are 4-1 down from the first leg in the Champions League last 16.
A big question will be if he sticks with the 3-5-2. With Gerard Pique and Ronald Araujo out, if he does he’ll have to use Samuel Umtiti with Lenglet and Mingueza.
Sergino Dest and Jordi Alba will be on the flanks.
Busquets in the middle with Frenkie de Jong and Pedri Gonzalez. Up front, it will be Lionel Messi and Ousmane Dembele.
Koeman will have players like Trincao, Griezmann, Braithwaite and Riqui Puig on the bench to try and change the game.
If he goes 4-3-3 then Griezmann will be the beneficiary and come in for Umtiti.
PSG for their part will be without Neymar, but Di Maria is back after missing the first leg.
Predicted line-ups
PSG: Keylor; Florenzi, Marquinhos, Kimpembe Kurzawa; Gueye, Verrati, Paredes; Mbappé, Di María, Icardi.
Barça: Ter Stegen; Umtiti, Lenglet, Mingueza; Dest, Jordi Alba; Busquets, De Jong, Pedri; Messi, Dembélé.
