For Barcelona, beating Paris Saint-Germain in the first round of the top eight is definitely a great result. If they host in the second round, they will be promoted.
The comeback of midfielder Frankie Dijon became the key for Barcelona to win the game. I think he is very calm, has great wave ability and managed to stabilize the team's midfield line. Therefore, I expect him and Gendojan to play similar important roles in the next round.
Another returning player, Berti, later replaced Rafin Xabiloni's goal, handing in a wonderful assist. He will have a great chance of being an option up top in this battle, strengthening his creativity against Barcelona and trying to help his team advance.
Raffin Shabiloni excels at shocking opponents' defenses, and Paris Saint-Germain will obviously have a hard time competing without suspended right goalkeeper Ashraf. The Moroccan national team player will be back for this year's battle. In addition to maintaining Raffinshabiloni's composure, he will also be a threat in the attack, which is linked to the team's desire to turn defeats into victories.
The focus of this fight will fall on Killian McBarbie. Will this be his last Europa League appearance for Paris Saint-Germain? He didn't perform well in the first round and Zoulis Goudi managed to freeze him out, but Kilian McBarbi won't give up on his dream of winning the Europa League, so I expect him to perform well.
Oswendi Billy is another player to watch out for. He scored a beautiful goal in Paris in the first round of the top 8 and will be hoping to show his worth in front of the home fans after a lackluster development in Barcelona.
Although Paris Saint-Germain have some strikers who can cause problems for their opponents, I believe Barcelon will be able to win control of the midfield. Moreover, Paris Saint-Germain's defense is not playing consistently, so I expect Barcelona to win this battle and eventually advance.
