“It's a game that starts at 0-0 and that we want to win.
We have to think that to qualify, we have to win this match, ”said Mauricio Pochettino, PSG coach.
Paris has all the weapons to win again, this time on its lawn, against the injured Barcelona beast.
The only downside: the absence of Neymar.
The Brazilian superstar, forfeited in the first leg due to an injury to the long left adductor, will miss the call to overcome the persistent trauma of the "remorada".

However, Paris seems today to have all the weapons to finish the job.
Kylian Mbappé showed the way: author of a hat-trick in the first leg, he suddenly erased the questions that surrounded him, linked to his effectiveness in C1.
And then, as Mauricio Pochettino reminds us, for him “the past begins on January 3, 2021”, and not on March 17, 2017, the day of the tragic “remountada”.
A date that Parisian supporters may well begin to forget in the event of a landslide victory this Wednesday.
