Seeking a sensational 12th win from 12 games in all competitions this season, Barcelona test their mettle against Champions League holders Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes on Tuesday.
Hansi Flick's side have scored nine goals in their opening European successes over Feyenoord and Galatasaray, thumping the latter 4-1 away from home on matchday two.
The highest scorers in Europe's top five leagues continued their exemplary attacking run over the weekend too, continuing their La Liga title defence with a 5-2 battering of Real Betis.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Barcelona's injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with PSG, the only team sitting above them in the league-phase table.
