Xavi doubts whether to take a risk with Pedri against PSG or play it safe with Fermín López

The FC Barcelona, without option to rest, already is preparing his party against Paris Saint-Germain of this Tuesday 16 April, in the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Compannys (21:00 hours - 9:00 PM CEST). The Barcelona have an important advantage of a goal, but know that the group of Luis Enrique will give war and will not be a simple rival to win. Xavi Hernández is clearing the 'X' and tries to define which would be the ideal alignment for a party with 'aroma' of final in the Champions League.

The trainer egarense puts in value that the plan in the Park of the Princes worked and that the most logical would be to give continuity, but is commissioned of 'replace' to Sergi Roberto that it will lose the eliminatory and neither will be able to have Andreas Christensen. Both were sanctioned and will see the party from the terracing, by what debe find to the best possible player to accompany to Frenkie of Jong and Ílkay Gündogan in the medullary. The task is not simple, neither much less.

The most logical option is Pedri González. In the capital of France already showed that it is a player that, with very little and in very little time, can be differential. It put a surgical pass to Raphinha that supposed the tie in the marker and dressed like one of the heroes of the Barça in Paris. In front of the Cádiz, this weekend in LaLiga, split from the bench and left good details in the minutes that contested, but in the Barça do not think that, still, was to play ninety minutes.

Fermín, the option that values the Barça

It is thus that the technical body is doubting with his titularity or no. In what to the talent and the sense that can print to the game there are not doubts, but yes recognise that it is not to 100% to physical level and can be a factor that play against. The training of this Monday, previous to the visit of the PSG, will be the key so that Xavi and his staff take the definite decision. In case that they decant because it split again like acting, the elected will be Fermín López.

The midfield player of The Masia is one of the most regular players in this season and one that always is smart for the battle. It showed it against the Naples and every time that has had opportunity and minutes to help to the Barça. It is a player that accustoms to arrive from second line and very difficult to detect for the rival defenders, by what, in case that Pedri was not entirely fine, will be the most hit option for Xavi. Everything is in 'will see'.
