It is not just a question of “finishing the job” for the Parisians. Fallen 4-0 at the Parc des Princes against an absolutely fantastic PSG, the Catalans still believe in their chances of changing everything. Messi and his partners even sent a message to Verratti and others, crushing Celta (5-0) at Camp Nou on Sunday. Five goals away, is what the Blaugranas will need in Catalonia to make live in Paris the greatest disillusionment of its history. Winner Nancy (1-0) in his garden, the PSG seems to already make this match back a source of concern.
The key points to forecast Barcelona PSG
Paris played 15 games in 2017, for 13 victories and 2 draws …
PSG were fantastic in the first leg (4-0). Deprived of time to the recovery, unable to find its strikers, Barcelona is really not guaranteed to live a new nightmare.
The PSG is still unbeaten this season in the Champions League (4v-3n).
Unai Emery paid the luxury of turning its squad this weekend against Nancy (1-0 win). Not tenured, Matuidi, Meunier or even Draxler will be fresh in Spain.
We remember that Barça had collapsed (0-3) home after having conceded one in Munich, in the semifinals of the 2012/2013 edition. Pride is not always enough.
Barcelona PSG – Our forecast
Totally choked at the Parc des Princes, Barça is clearly not immune to a new match galley in Catalonia. If it is impossible to imagine Messi and his teammates going back to side, this whole PSG is quite armed to clinch his quarterback place with the way. Susceptible to see his hopes reduced to nothing quickly, Barcelona is not immune to crack.
Prediction: Barcelona win
Odds: 1.45
