The weaknesses of PSG that Barça must crush in this return of the Champions League

The FC Barcelona will confront to Paris Saint-Germain with the aim to seal his pass to the 'semis' of this tournament. In principle, the picture of Xavi Hernández splits like favourite because of the result obtained in the meeting of gone in the Park of the Princes, where won 2-3 and left the eliminatory directed. Now, the combined Barcelona will have to close the work in Montjuïc this Tuesday 16 April. In this sense, the Catalan cast already is evaluating the weak points of the Parisian group to take advantage of them and ensure the triumph.

'Explode' the doubts of Donnarumma in the goal

One of these weak points, as we mention yesterday in 'FCBN', is the guardameta Gianluigi Donnarumma. Although it is used to to be a reliable goalkeeper in the majority of the occasions, in important clashes like east tends to show nervousness and liable to commit errors. In fact, this remained evidenciado in the commitment of gone, where had a lot of responsibility in the three annotations of the Barça.

In two of them, had problems of anticipation, since in the first so much of Raphinha went out of way errática treating to cut a centre, whereas in the third goal, although the centre of İlkay Gündoğan did on the small area, was not able to go out to look for the balloon, that finally was cabeceado by Andreas Christensen and finished at the bottom of the network. Besides, in the second target, a bad his exit with the balloon in the feet derived in the played that culminated in the second goal of the '11' Barcelona. Therefore, if the picture culé presiona and surprises to Donnarumma, can obtain profits, especially taking into account that the Italian goalkeeper will be under the pressure of the fans culé, which can influence in his performance and carry it to commit errors.

Not to give him margin of action to Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé

Likewise, another of the appearances will be can neutralise of effective way to Kylian Mbappé, as it attained in the party of gone. The French star is the one who carries the offensive weight of the Parisian square, by what restrict his actions will be crucial in the next meeting. In this sense, the work of the tandem formed by Jules Koundé and Lamine Yamal in the right side will be fundamental to limit the advances of 'Donatello' by the band. Of course, they will have the backrest of Ronald Araújo, the one who also exerted an important paper in the containment of the exjugador of the Monaco in the last duel, covering the backs of Koundé.

Added to this, do not have to neglect to Ousmane Dembélé and, in general, to this right side that will strengthen with the likely inclusion of Achraf Hakimi like right-handed side. Therefore, Joãor Cancel, Raphinha and Pau Cubarsí have to be prepared to assume a greater defensive responsibility and cancel to this fundamental piece in the attack of the French.

Take advantage of the slow transitions attack-defence of the PSG

The FC Barcelona also will have to take advantage of the slow transition of attack to defence of Paris Saint-Germain, a combined accustomed to take the initiative in the meeting and be highly offensive. The Barcelona cast can take advantage of this of several forms, especially through fast transitions with agile players like Lamine Yamal and Raphinha, for desequilibrar in the slow shrinking of the Parisian saga and take advantage of these falencias. Also they can move quickly the balloon in the centre of the field and explode the spaces to backs of the contrary defenders with passes to the space.

The doubts in the saga of the combined French

Another appearance to consider could be the exert of the central defences, possibly one of the feeblest lines of the combined Parisian. Although the presence of Hakimi could offer more security with the return of Marquinhos to the saga, is true that players like Robert Lewandowski have showed that they can cause problems to players like Lucas Hernández, especially presionando the exit of a defence that sometimes shows failures of concentration and positioning, something that the FC Barcelona could take advantage of in timely moments.

Explore the spaces between the defenders and the sides

To close, the Barcelonan square has to take advantage of the spaces between the central and the side, a zone that in occasions remains unprotected because of problems of organisation and to the fault of midfield players that offer support in defensive works. This situation, added to the defenders that do not close with efficiency, allows to the Barça take advantage of these areas and cause estragos. An example of this was the second goal of Raphinha, where, although it was resulted of a brilliant assistance of Pedri González with a high pass, the reality is that the incursion of Raphinha was possible because of the fault of surveillance by part of the players commissioned of custodiar this zone.
