The battle is in full swing! Barcelona returned home to face Paris Saint-Germain in the second leg of the UEFA Europa League last eight with a 3-2 lead. The first round of the competition has shown that the two teams have equal strengths and similar tactical styles. While Barcelona struggled to resist PSG's fast offense, PSG also failed to stop Barcelona's counterattack. It is worth mentioning that Kilian McBarbie is fighting hard for PSG in the EU duel. In the last nine matches, the two teams have thrilled to four or more goals in seven occasions, chasing a goal difference of 3.5.
Barcelona, led by Rafin Chabiloni, came close again in the first round with a 3-2 win. Back at home, they are expected to have more possession and fewer goals. Currently, the "strongest" team on the ground has only two injured players, Gavi and Baldi, but they are still able to fight against strong opponents. The "3 Forks" of Robert Levendowski, Yemma and Rafin Chabiloni in the forward line, and the midfielders Gendujan, Frankie Dijon and Baldi are all ready to go, so the attacking force of the forward line is not to be underestimated.
For Paris Saint-Germain, Oswin Dibili had an eye-catching first round. Domain Sky joined the fray and overtook the front line for a while. However, unfortunately, they lost in the end; coach Anriki had no choice. In this round, they will go all out on offense and try to complete the turnaround in order to redeem themselves. With no injuries in the starting lineup, led by Kilian McBarbee, and with Oswin Dibili and Calu Ramos in the lineup, and with strong support from midfielders Tianna, Venloure Ugadi, and Shari Amelie, Barcelona is under immense pressure.
The two teams have met frequently in the UEFA Europa League in the past, with many goal battles. None more classic than in the 2016-17 season, when PSG won 4-0 in the first leg of the Round of 16, and Barcelona rallied to win 6-1 in the second leg and 6-5 on aggregate. Any amazing scoreline can happen in this round. Let's wait and see, the goal battle is about to take place.
