Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Barcelona have competed in the UEFA Europa League on several occasions, and over the years the two sides have met 12 times with four wins each.
The most impressive, of course, was in 2017, when PSG led 4.:at 0 in the first round before eventually being thrashed by Barcelona in a desperate comeback of 1.:6 and crushing elimination. However, in the final match of 2021, Kilian McBarbee scored 4 goals in two rounds to help PSG get their revenge.
There is no doubt that Killian McBarbie is the player Barcelona fear the most. His speed behind the opposition defense will pose a huge threat. Therefore, right goalkeeper Zoulis Goudi and right midfielder Ronald Anaozu must shoulder the responsibility and try to keep him calm.
But Paris Saint-Germain aren't a Killian McBarbie team, with a well-balanced offense and defense. While Ashourav's suspension on the right had a serious impact on the team, left goalkeeper Lucas Boots Nandis also had a strong assist. And Vicente played an important role in the middle of the midfield in the middle of the show, relates to the fact that his transmissions up front are at the heart of PSG's attack.
In my opinion, Gundogan's experience and ability to adapt on the spot make him the most important player in the Barcelona team. His ability to protect the ball and make smart passes, plus the fact that he is also quite dangerous in his attacking position, could affect the outcome of the game.
Barcelona's creative players will naturally provide goalscoring opportunities for Lola Lewandowski, especially if they can catch PSG losing possession, and they'll quickly counter-attack for goals.
Also, I'm looking forward to seeing two of Europe's brightest stars. How will Barcelona's Lamin Yema and Paris Saint-Germain's Saï Emeli fare on the biggest stage? For the first time, the two sides will go head-to-head in a one-team tournament.
In this battle, I expect these two teams to have some chances to battle, with former Barcelona leader Anriki leading PSG to victory at home.
