FC Barcelona and PSG are about to meet in the Champions League, three years after their last encounter. In their previous clash in 2020/21, the Parisians advanced to the quarter finals with a 5-2 aggregate victory over Barcelona.

The upcoming quarter final match not only sees Barcelona facing PSG but also reunites players who were once teammates. The anticipation is high for this encounter between the two European giants.

Barcelona is currently facing a dilemma regarding the future of Ansu Fati. The young talent has struggled in recent years, including during his loan spell at Brighton and Hove Albion this season.

After his loan spell, Ansu Fati is set to leave Brighton & Hove Albion with uncertainty surrounding his future at Barcelona. The Spanish international’s next destination is a topic of speculation.

Barcelona’s star player Ilkay Gundogan is hoping for a Champions League showdown against his former club Manchester City. Gundogan led City to their historic Champions League victory last season.

As Barcelona gear up to face PSG, Xavi Hernandez plans to organize a training game to evaluate players returning from injury. The fitness of key players like Frenkie de Jong and Pedri will be crucial for the upcoming fixture.

Barcelona is considering significant player sales in the upcoming transfer window, with both first-team and academy players potentially on the chopping block. Mikayil Faye is among the young talents who could attract substantial offers.

The Catalan club has set its sights on signing a new left winger, with Napoli‘s Khvicha Kvaratskhelia emerging as a top target. Deco, Barcelona’s sporting director, will need to assess the available budget for this potential transfer.
