The UEFA Champions League returns to the fold with another set of matches this week as Luis Enrique's PSG lock horns with Xavi's Barcelona side in a crucial encounter at the Montjuic on Tuesday.

Barcelona vs PSG Preview

PSG are currently at the top of the Ligue 1 standings and have been impressive on the domestic front over the past year. The Parisian side slumped to a 3-2 defeat in the reverse fixture last week and will need to work hard to bounce back in this fixture.

Barcelona, on the other hand, are in second place in the La Liga table and have stepped up to the plate in recent weeks. The Catalan giants edged Cadiz to a narrow 1-0 victory in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this week.

Barcelona vs PSG Prediction

Barcelona have relied heavily on their youngsters this season and have grown in stature under Xavi over the past year. The likes of Lamine Yamal and Pau Cubarsi have come of age this season and will look to make an impact on Tuesday.

PSG will need to overcome a slender deficit to restore parity this week before they can subdue Barcelona's technically gifted squad at the Montjuic. Barcelona have plenty of firepower in their ranks, however, and hold a slight upper hand going into this game.
