FC Barcelona will have to eliminate PSG to keep its dream of winning this Champions League alive. Luis Enrique's team showed against Real that it seems to be a more solid block than in previous editions and has its biggest 'daggers' in Kylian Mbappé and Dembélé
The FC Barcelona will see the faces with Paris Saint-Germain in the quarter-finals of this Champions League. The culés will visit the Park of the Princes in the gone and will receive to the Parisians in Montjuïc in the turn to close the eliminatory. It will be an intense crossing and complicated for the Barcelona, since the French, after being about to remain out of the League of Champions in phase of groups, have redone , have improved and now are a much more solid and dangerous team that does only some months.
Luis Enrique is the architect of this PSG and has needed more than half season to consolidate his idea of game. To the Asturian cost him give with the 'key' in phase of groups and by fault of this almost remain was, but at the end has attained it, as they showed in the eighth against the Real Sociedad. Although the donostiarras are going through a moment bad of results and game, keeps on being a group to take into account yet still the Frenchmen won with great ease the eliminatory (2-0 in the gone and 1-2 in the turn).
In front of the 'txuri-urdin', Paris Saint-Germain showed to be a more worked group defensivamente that in previous editions and have an idea of game more clear-cut. That is precisely the greater danger of this team for the Barça, since this course, in addition to good players, seems to have the necessary sacrifice as to compete and win against any one. Have a lot of quality individually speaking, but also are fast and very physical, by what the picture blaugrana will have to be to 100% to follow them the rhythm and can win them.
Mbappé Is the greater danger of the PSG
Obviously, the big star of this PSG keeps on being Kylian Mbappé, that besides is extramotivado in this Champions for being presumably his last opportunity to win it like Parisian. The forward has decided to leave and everything indicates that it will play in the Real Madrid the course that comes, something that adds him even more 'morbo' to this crossing. Against the Real, the one of Bondy showed that it is the best player of the world, deciding almost only the eliminatory, with a goal in the gone and two in the turn, showing tremendously upper to all his markers.
The 'Turtle' will be the big referent of the French and will fall to the side defended by Jules Koundé and Ronald Araújo, that will have to mark him very closely to have him controlled. The objective elder of the culés has to be minimise to the 'crack' Frenchman and attain that they have to be other mates those that decide so much in the gone as in the turn. Avoid a performance like the one of the 2021, when it marked in the gone of eighth a brutal 'hat-trick' for cas sentence the eliminatory is the first 'stone' to build the pass to semifinals of the FC Barcelona.
Dembélé, Barcola and Zaïre-Emery, serious threats to control
But Mbappé is not neither much less the only danger of this PSG, since it also will be necessary to tie in short to Ousmane Dembélé. The exbarcelonista returns to which went his house during six years and probably will do it with win to claim and show things. His campaign in Paris is being abysmal to level goleador, since only it adds a goal, but has given already 12 assistances, almost does not have lesionado and is giving him to his team a lot of disequilibrium in the right, something of what are taking advantage of other mates, although his last decisions are not being good. The tremenda speed and the desborde of the of Vernon will be a constant threat for the Barcelona are doubt.
In addition to 'Dembouz', in Paris have two young French talents to which also will be necessary to control. Bradley Barcola (21) is a fast left extreme, with good dribbling and that takes advantage of his condition of right-handed to throw diagonals, supporting many times in Mbappé. On the other hand, Warren Zaïre-Emery (18) carries already a pair of years standing out and every time is better. Already it was as inner or mediocentro, the talentoso midfield player can be decisive through the pass, thanks to his good vision of the game, but also in driving, where has dribbling and a big change of rhythm that allows him 'break' defences with ball of usual form.
Team compensated, with a lot of alternatives and a lot of danger
Also it is necessary to have care with other attackers that presumably will be acting, but that they are of first world-wide level, as they are Gonçalo Bouquets and Kolo Muani. The Portuguese has a lot of goal and is a constant danger near of goal, whereas the French is a mobile forward that can split of band and that has speed and physicist to complicate him the life to the defence so much with balloon as to the space in case that it touch him play.
Fabián Ruiz, Kang-in Reads or Vitinha also have a lot of quality and are names that can hurt definitely if no takes them into account . Besides, the two sides, Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes have a lot of speed and in attack could be another threat if it gives them space and the defence does not have helps. In definite, this PSG is a very compensated team, with a lot of alternatives and with a lot of quality, by what the FC Barcelona will have to do an eliminatory perfect to leave him was.
