Paris Saint-Germain vs Barcelona live stream

The current «pandemic» season presented some difficulties to last year’s Champions League finalist, who lost in the final to Bayern Munich. Having been the dominant force in France over the past few years, Paris Saint-Germain are currently struggling to top the Ligue 1 standings, let alone secure a comfortable lead over the competition. Lille continues to lead, but the Parisians are only two points away from it at the end of 28 rounds.

Even if PSG fans have long been accustomed to the annual victories in domestic competitions, they will certainly forgive their favorites for the possible loss of the championship, if they manage to win the long-awaited Champions League — still an unfulfilled dream of everyone who has at least something to do with the Paris grand prix.

And, it is worth admitting, Barcelona was far from the easiest opponent of all possible in the draw for the 1/8 finals of the LCH, despite its far from the best period. Nevertheless, PSG almost guaranteed themselves a place in the next stage in the first match, when they sent four goals to the blue-garnet goal at the Camp Nou. Then Barcelona managed to score a goal only thanks to the realized penalty kick performed by Lionel Messi, but did this return the intrigue to this confrontation?

History shows that in the second leg of the Champions League playoffs, it is quite possible to win back the gap of even three goals, but the current Barcelona is hardly capable of such a feat against the super-motivated Paris Saint-Germain, which successfully copes even without its star striker Neymar (defeat in the match with Monaco is only an exception to the rule).

Of course, the latest results of the wards of Ronald Koeman can not but rejoice. After being eliminated in the Champions League by Parisians, Barcelona stumbled only with Cadiz in La Liga, drawing, but then beat Elche, Seville and Osasuna in the Spanish championship. Moreover, their ability to make comebacks «blue-garnet» clearly demonstrated in the semifinals of the King’s Cup, when after losing the first match to Sevilla with a score of 0:2, Ronald Koeman’s team managed to win back the gap in the second leg, and in overtime to squeeze the opponent and reach the final.

Undoubtedly, this is a great feat performed by Barcelona, but with PSG the situation is much more disastrous. To reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League, the Catalans must in any case score at least four times in Paris due to the away goal rule. Barca have nothing to lose, so from the first minutes the Catalans will go forward, but the wards of Mauricio Pochettino are unlikely to give up their just like that and try to consolidate the past success as soon as possible and finally kill the intrigue in the confrontation.
