The eighth round of the Champions League final kicks off tonight (Tuesday), with one of the most fascinating confrontations the factory can provide: Barcelona hosts Paris Saint-Germain for the first meeting of two.

The Catalans arrive in very good shape for the game, with seven consecutive league victories under their belt and coming after the impressive 1: 5 to Alabs' net in the last round of the Spanish league.

In addition, it seems that the star of the team, Lionel Messi, has returned to business in recent weeks, when in the game against the Basques, the Flea scored a great double with each of the goals he scored more beautifully than the other.

However, Barcelona will have to make do without the injured Filippa Coutinho, Anso Patti, Martin Brightweit, Sergi Roberto, Ronald Araujo, but got back Gerard Pique, who returned from absence due to a direct injury to Koeman's squad.

On the other hand, the French do not forget for a moment the disappointment caused to them the last time the two teams met in the knockout stage of the Champions League.

So in 2017 the two met in the quarter-finals, with PSG winning 0: 4 in the first game, but snatching an unforgettable 6: 1 rematch (from a goal by Sergi Roberto in the 95th minute) and finishing its way in the factory in the most dramatic way possible Was conceivable.

Ex-Barcelona and PSG star Neymar is not available for coach Maurizio Pochettino due to injury, as is Angel Di Maria.

In addition to them the injured Colin Degba will also be absent as well as Timothy Pambala who is positive for Corona.

Moises Ken was placed at the tip of Paris alongside Killian Ambape.
