Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain go head-to-head in Champions League • FRANCE 24 English

With final preparations underway, PSG is missing some of its biggest stars, including Usman Dembele, who will be absent from Wednesday’s match against FC Barcelona due to injury. But their coach remains confident. His current team is performing well with recent wins across all competitions. I think you can either make excuses or have results. What we want is to achieve results no matter who’s playing tomorrow. We’ll prepare the match as we always do in the best possible way to try to win the match. Nevertheless, these absences could well threaten what promised to be a spectacular match between two giants in European football. But if the 2025 Ballindor winner Dembele is absent from PSG, his runnerup Lammen Yamal will return to the Barcelona squad after his own injury. His team’s European campaign also kicked off to a good start by beating Newcastle in their first match, but it also had to contend with injuries. The players are determined to beat the European champions. They’re one of the best teams in the world. I think we are the best. I think it’ll be a show everyone will enjoy at the stadium. Barcelona also wants revenge. They were eliminated in 2024 in front of a home crowd after a comeback by the Parisians in the Champions League quarterfinals.

Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona meet in the Champions League on Wednesday in a clash between two of the favourites to win the competition this season. Defending champion PSG is aiming to join Real Madrid as the only team to retain the title in the modern era. Madrid won it three times in a row from 2016-18. Other than that, no team has won it in back-to-back years since the European Cup was rebranded as the Champions League in 1992.
