FC Barcelona have everything to make a splash against PSG. The Catalans arrive at a time of great regularity this season, trying to maintain that defensive solidity that they have recovered in recent weeks<\/h2> \r\n
\r\n \r\n \r\n Calendar of FC Barcelona <\/a>\r\n<\/div>

Since the draw of quarter-finals of the Champions League ‘decided’ that the FC Barcelona would find with Paris Saint-Germain remained clear that it would be an eliminatory with a lot of tension and of very first level, and in the previous of the meeting of gone this situation has not done more than increasing. The presence of Luis Enrique in the bench Frenchman, the problems between directives by the signings of Messi or Neymar, has all to the maximum for a party that this Wednesday to the 21:00 hours could leave to a team already with a foot in semifinals.<\/strong><\/p>

The meeting arrives already in a stage more than decisive of the season, something that the own Xavi Hern\u00e1ndez has left clear in press conference<\/a>, ensuring that “it arrives the decisive hour, the important stretch. We are in front of two or three weeks that will be decisive”, ensured the m\u00edster. <\/strong>Reason does not be missing him to the egarense if we take into account that the Bar\u00e7a could remain with the empty hands by this season from this 10 April until the next 21, when it will confront to the Real Madrid by LaLiga.<\/p>

It is thus that the Catalans need to show now more than ever that yes they are smart to give this so key step in the course, especially to European level. The group cul\u00e9 needs to move away once again his ‘ghosts’ to continental level, something that already did in the phase of groups and eighth of final, <\/strong>where advanced like leader of group and later surpassed widely to the Naples in the phase of the 16 better, especially in the party of turn.<\/p>

It is clear that the Bar\u00e7a will need to be very concentrated<\/h2>

Surely thus Xavi has left clear that “the states of form are key in the alignment that will take out”, commented, opening the possibility to that it can put the best XI possible on the field, although showing that it will not leave carry only by names, as it is the case of the doubt between Frenkie of Jong, Sergi Roberto and Ferm\u00edn L\u00f3pez<\/a>. <\/strong>In fact, the Catalan aimed on the first two that “varied little because we visualise a lot of duels, offensive and defensive. We value more how it arrives the footballer. It is a party to be to 100% to physical level”, commented.<\/p>

The technician of the Bar\u00e7a aimed that “they will tighten us the 90 minutes” and surely that can be the best summary of an eliminatory that will initiate this Wednesday in Paris, a place where the cul\u00e9s will be subjected to a pressure tremenda, especially of part of the local public. The ultras Parisian have left clear that will try incomodar all the possible to a Bar\u00e7a that it has to avoid, between other a lot of things, a goal against in the first minutes of this duel. <\/strong><\/p>

The PSG will try to give another hard hit to the Bar\u00e7a in Europe<\/h2>

Players like Mbapp\u00e9 and Demb\u00e9l\u00e9 are an authentic threat, but the Bar\u00e7a also has it in footballers like Lamine, Lewandowski and G\u00fcndogan, by what seems that it will be a party, and an eliminatory, that will define more in both areas that in the centre of the field, something that one could think in principle with two teams trained by Xavi and Luis Enrique. In fact, the Asturian in press conference this Tuesday wanted to take out breast by his DNA Bar\u00e7a, even leaving him a ‘stick’ to his excompa\u00f1ero. <\/strong><\/p>

“Without any doubt, I. Look the data and the titles, the possession, the high pressure\u2026 Without any doubt I, although there will be people that think the contrary. It is not opinable, are the data”,<\/strong> ensured Luis Enrique with regard to if it represents better or no the style of football of the Bar\u00e7a. Now, the trainer of the Frenchmen will have to show it on the field, especially needing win by two or more goals for really arrive with some favouritism to the party of turn in Llu\u00eds Companys.<\/p>

An environment that will be very complicated for the Bar\u00e7a<\/h2>

Finally, it is necessary to highlight in the previous of this first ’round’ the communiqu\u00e9 that splits of the fans of the PSG published, tildando of “despicable” to the Catalan group, to the that consider favoured by the referees and arengando to all the fans to that they encourage as never to do of the stadium a hostile environment.<\/strong> Besides, the foundation To the Azaim, bearer of messages of the Islamic State, lit all the alarms, sharing an image in which the terrorist organisation promises an attacking in the headquarters of the parties of gone, by what adds a factor besides for this duel.<\/p>
