On Tuesday nite, the Parc des Princes will play host to a highly anticipated UEFA Champions League match between Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona. This match could present Hansi Flick's squad with a significant challenge.
An intriguing matchup between two European powerhouses has been set up, as both clubs have had solid beginnings to the Champions League league round. Barcelona visits Paris having won all eleven of their matches this season, but PSG have already made a statement with an outstanding triumph over Manchester City.
A strong suit of Barcelona's has been their offensive play. With an average of over four goals per game, Flick's squad has scored 48 goals thus far in the season. The Spanish giants have shown they can challenge the best defences with players like Raphinha and Lamine Yamal in the forefront of the assault.
But there may be major problems for Barcelona in defence. Eric García and Jules Koundé are not available, and Andreas Christensen is also benched. In the lead-up to the pivotal match in Europe, Flick will have less defensive options without them.
It's possible that PSG will try to exploit those holes. Ousmane Dembélé, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and Désiré Doué are three of Luis Enrique's top attackers, and they can all create dangerous chances for the squad.
Fans in Paris can look forward to a thrilling matchup because both teams are currently on fire. Despite PSG's talent, Barcelona will have to rely on their offensive prowess to make up for their defensive shortcomings if they want to win.
