The Barcelona won Paris Saint-Germain (3-2) away from home this Wednesday (10), at the Parc des Princes, in the French capital, in the first leg of the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
PSG now needs a ‘remontada’ (comeback in Spanish) like the one they suffered in 2017 against Barça on the night of the fateful 6-1.
“The game in Barcelona will be a final and we have to win it. We will try to improve some aspects, of course,” said Luis Enrique after the defeat.
In a busy game, the Catalan team opened the scoring with a goal from Brazilian Raphinha (37′) and the Parisians turned things around in the second half with two goals in two minutes: one from Ousmane Dembélé (48′) and the other from Portuguese Vitinha (50′). ‘).
But the hosts got back at it again with Raphinha (62′) and the birthday boy of the day Christensen, who scored Barça’s winning goal in the final stretch (77′), just moments after entering the field.
The return match will be on April 16, in Barcelona.
This clash at the Montjuic Olympic Stadium will be played, as was the case in Paris, under strong security measures due to the recent threat from the jihadist group Islamic State against the main European club competition.
