"We're really looking forward to it. I think we need to work on our game plan and what we want to do, like controlling possession and positioning ourselves well. But it won't be easy, because they're very good at that too. So from the very first second to the final whistle, we'll have to play at our highest level. This is the Champions League and there's no room for making mistakes."
"Both teams will want the ball. We'll go all out to dominate and press. We've been a brave side ever since Flick arrived. There are more spaces. For us, it's better against a team that plays like that."
Barcelona will host Paris Saint-Germain at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys in a Champions League fixture. Barcelona top LaLiga after seven games and remain unbeaten in all competitions, including a 2-1 comeback win over Real Sociedad. Barcelona began their European campaign with a 2-1 victory over Newcastle United featuring a brace from Marcus Rashford. PSG defeated Barcelona 4-1 in their April 2024 Champions League quarter-final meeting. Hansi Flick described PSG as the best team from last season and said Barcelona must control possession, position well and play at their highest level. Pedri said both teams will seek to dominate possession and that Barcelona will press and exploit available spaces.
