After the draw of the eighth of final of the Champions League, the PSG seemed very favourite against the FC Barcelona. To day of today, this favouritism no longer is so clear
After the draw of the eighth of final of the Champions League that celebrated the past month of December, Paris Saint-Germain seemed very favourite in the eliminatory against the FC Barcelona. The Parisian group went to all machine whereas the doubts inindaban to the group of Ronald Koeman, that did not find the regularity.
To day of today, this favouritism in favour of the group of Mauritius Pochettino no longer is so clear by a lot of factors. In the last weeks, Paris Saint-Germain has seen forced to change of trainer -the Argentinian substituted to Thomas Tuchel- and has lost by injury of face to the duel against the Barça to players like Neymar or Ángel Gave María.
The drop of the Brazilian is especially sensitive and more taking into account that the Brazilian is the big leader of the team after seeing that the performance of Kylian Mbappé does not finish to start. The absence of Neymar by injury aggravates even more taking into account that his natural relief, Ángel Gave María, neither will be able to play, by what Mauritius Pochettino will have to bet by Sarabia.
The things in Paris Saint-Germain do not go so well as they went in December and, by the contrary, in the FC Barcelona has improved a lot the situation. It is true that the culés have numerous important drops, but the feelings that the team has transmitted during the last weeks do to think that the culés can replace to the absences.
In spite of that the group of Ronald Koeman lost against the Seville in the semifinals of the Glass of Rey and is to the edge of the elimination, the path of the FC Barcelona has stabilised a lot so much at stake as in results. The Barça has improved by the rise of performance of players like Messi, Griezmann or Dembélé and already accumulates seven victories been still in LaLiga.
Eye with the drops of the Barça
However, it does not be necessary to forget that the FC Barcelona will not be able to have Philippe Coutinho, Ansu Fati neither Sergi Roberto. Possibly neither they can play neither Gerard Hammered neither Ronald Araújo in defence. A lot of important drops to which the culés will have to sobreponerse as they have done up to now: doing pineapple and giving the 120 percent.
