The Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys sets the stage for a Champions League spectacle on Wednesday evening as Barcelona hosts Paris Saint-Germain in a match bursting with European intrigue.

This colossal clash sees last year's beaten semi-finalists welcome the current holders, with both teams aiming to build on their victorious starts to the new European campaign.

 

📈 Team Form 📈

🔵 Barcelona: Began their UCL quest with a 2-1 away win at Newcastle. The Blaugrana are on a run of five consecutive victories, including key domestic wins that have returned them to the top of La Liga.

🔴 Paris Saint-Germain: Commenced their title defence with a commanding 4-0 drubbing of Atalanta BC. Despite a recent Classique loss to Marseille, they bounced back with a 2-0 Ligue 1 win over Auxerre.

 

📊 Head-to-Head & Key Stats 📊

🔥PSG has dominated recent away games against the Catalans, beating Barcelona 4-1 at their home ground in both 2021 and 2024.

🔥The Parisians could make history by becoming the first team to secure three consecutive away wins against Barcelona in a major European competition.

🔥Barcelona is a force to be reckoned with at home in Europe, scoring three or more goals in six of their last seven Champions League games at their home turf.

🔥The Catalans' last 17 UCL home games have seen a staggering 75 goals scored.

🔬 What to Expect From Both Teams 🔥

Barcelona | Form: W🟢 W🟢 W🟢 W🟢 W🟢

Hansi Flick’s side is in formidable form, averaging three goals per game in La Liga. They hold a one-point lead at the top of the Spanish league and have regained control of their destiny in the title race. The team is also boosted after a comeback win against Newcastle and a strong domestic run.

Ballon d'Or runner-up Yamal set up Robert Lewandowski's winner against Real Sociedad after recovering from a groin issue and is looking good for a starting role against the European champions.

However, the injured Marc-Andre ter Stegen (back), Gavi (knee), Joan Garcia (knee), Fermin Lopez (back) and Raphinha (hamstring) remain out, with Rashford likely coming in for the Brazilian in attack.

PSG | Form: W🟢 W🟢 W🟢 L🔴 W🟢

The holders started their Champions League defence emphatically but stumbled with a 1-0 loss to Marseille in Le Classique. Coach Luis Enrique faces a tactical battle against his former club, and PSG's ability to win consecutive away games against Barcelona will be severely tested.

Ballon d'Or winner Ousmane Dembele will watch on from the sidelines when he returns to Barca, as the France international is not expected to return from his hamstring injury until after October.

Desire Doue (calf), Joao Neves (hamstring), Fabian Ruiz (muscle) and captain Marquinhos (thigh) were all expected to be absent, but to make matters worse for Enrique, Vitinha and Kvaratskhelia both sustained issues in the win over Auxerre.

There are concerns over Kvaratskhelia and his suspected hamstring problem, but there is optimism that Vitinha will be able to recover from his issue in time for Wednesday.

 

 👥 Predicted Lineups 👥

🔵 Barcelona (Possible 4-2-3-1):

Szczesny; Kounde, Cubarsi, Araujo, Martin; Pedri, De Jong; Yamal, Olmo, Rashford; Lewandowski.

 

🔴 Paris Saint-Germain (Possible 4-3-3):

Chevalier; Hakimi, Zabarnyi, Pacho, Mendes; Lee, Vitinha, Zaire-Emery; Mbaye, Ramos, Barcola.

 

🔥 Matchups & Players to Watch 👀

✨Lamine Yamal — The Ballon d'Or runner-up is back from a groin injury and provided an assist in his last game.

✨Marcus Rashford — Scored a match-winning brace against Newcastle on his return to England.

✨Robert Lewandowski — The veteran striker scored the winner against Real Sociedad and remains a pivotal figure.

✨PSG's Attack — Despite potential absences, their firepower is undeniable after a 4-0 opening UCL win.
