Seven survivors at Barcelona from the 6-1 win over PSG
The Catalan club welcome back PSG for the first time since that fateful night at Camp Nou
1440 days later, PSG return to the scene of one of their worst nightmares in their 50 years of history. And they will find seven survivors at Barcelona from the 6-1 defeat that knocked them out of Europe despite a 4-0 lead in the first leg.
Leo Messi, Gerard Pique, Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Sergio Busquets are still starters for the club, injury allowing.
Samuel Umtiti no longer has a guaranteed place in the side, nor does Sergi Roberto who scored the winning goal. He is injured and won’t play against them on Tuesday night. Jordi Alba, was on the bench for the 6-1 but he’ll be starting this week.
Back in 2017, Messi and Ter Stegen had a big impact. The Argentine netted the third from the penalty spot and the German made some fine saves. Umtiti, Busquets and Pique played extraordinarily well.
Luis Enrique also picked Neymar and Rafinha, two players who now play for PSG. The Brazilian, injured, was arguably the Catalans’ best player that night He scored two goals, earned a penalty and set up Sergi Roberto’s decisive sixth.
