Two of the Champions League favorites face off tonight in a delicious match at the Parc des Princes.
PSG are the two-time defending champions and flexed their muscles again last week with a brilliant first-half performance against Manchester City that paved the way for a 4-2 win at the Etihad.
The concern for Luis Enrique is at the back. PSG have conceded in each of their last five games in all competitions, and that is a huge concern against the most potent attack in Europe’s big five leagues.
“We want to win,” said the PSG manager who will face his former club. “In the competition as a whole, it might not be that important, but it’s a special game. They’re two top-class clubs with a clear identity and they’re both brilliant to watch, so we want to make the most of it. It’s going to be a good sporting competition.”
“It will be a tight game because both teams have a lot of individual quality. Playing at home makes a difference to us – we are much stronger here. We are a machine – that’s what I think when I see our players pressing.”
In the other corner there is a Barcelona player who now seems unstoppable. Saturday’s 5-2 win at Real Betis at La Cartuja made it 11 wins from 11 in all competitions, and they arrive in Paris at the top of the Champions League standings after thrashing Feyenoord 5-1 and coming from behind to beat Galatasaray 4-1 in Istanbul.
