Barcelona vs PSG confirmed team news: Pedri returns to starting 11

Barcelona will host Paris Saint-Germain in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final clash on Tuesday evening.

aiming to build on their impressive 3-2 victory in Paris last week. With the home advantage and a supportive crowd at Montjuic, Barcelona are expected to advance to the semi-finals, where they could potentially face Atletico Madrid or Borussia Dortmund.

Xavi’s team, currently in a good form, secured a 1-0 win over Cadiz over the weekend.

In tonight’s game, Pedri replaces Sergi Roberto in midfield, hoping to replicate his impactful performance from the first leg.

Regarding PSG, the French powerhouse experienced numerous opportunities in the initial match but ultimately struggled to maintain control against Barcelona.

The champions of Ligue 1 have a less-than-stellar track record in the Champions League and will rely on Kylian Mbappe’s performance if they aim to progress to the semi-finals.

Mbappe, PSG’s standout player, delivered a subpar performance last week at the Parc des Princes. Initially positioned on the left side of a front trio under Luis Enrique, the French sensation will take the forefront in Tuesday’s clash in Barcelona.

The team led by the Spanish coach had no fixture over the weekend and has introduced three alterations from their loss in Paris. Lucas Berlado, Lee Kang-in, and Marco Asensio have made way for Achraf Hakimi, Warren Zaire-Emery, and Bradley Barcola.
