Live Video Score PSG Barcelona 0-1 ACUM DGS 1 Catalanii au deschis scorul pe Parc des Princes Gol inainte de pauza

Barcelona scores a stunning goal against PSG in a highly anticipated match, with Lewandowski and Mbappe leading their teams.

In one of the most highly anticipated matchups of the spring in world football, PSG faced off against Barcelona. The two teams have met 12 times in the most prestigious club competition: 4 wins for PSG, 4 for Barcelona, and 4 draws. One of the most memorable encounters between the two teams was in 2017, in the UCL round of 16, when Barcelona managed to overturn a 0-4 deficit from the first leg to advance to the next round. Coached by Luis Enrique, who is now in charge of PSG, Barcelona won 6-1 at Camp Nou in a game that introduced the term "remontada" into the French dictionary.

Mbappe is the top scorer for PSG with 6 goals, while Lewandowski, Ferran Torres, and Joao Felix lead the scoring for Barcelona in the UCL with 3 goals each. Both teams have key players unavailable for the match at Parc des Princes. PSG is without Hakimi due to suspension and Kimpembe and Mukiele due to injury, while Barcelona will be missing Balde, Gavi, and Pedri, all injured, and De Jong is uncertain.

In the pre-match press conference, Luis Enrique was asked who better represents the values of Barcelona between himself and Xavi. Without hesitation, the coach replied that he does. "Without a doubt, me. Look at the statistics and titles. Then look at possession, at the team's pressure. Without a doubt, me, although there will be people who believe otherwise. It's not about opinions, it's about data! I don't know Xavi the coach, only the player. I know him as a fan does. I know the club very well, but I don't know if it's an advantage or a disadvantage. It's a special game for me," said Luis Enrique.

Xavi's response was respectful, praising Enrique and the players of the French champions. "I saw what he said. It's Luis Enrique. You know him. I have a very good relationship with him. All respect. He is one of the best coaches in the world and has a team built to win the Champions League. We both seek the same thing."
