Paris Saint-Germain host this top of the table contest as they welcome Hansi Flick’s Barca
Paris Saint-Germain host Barcelona in a Champions League contest that will determine which team ends the evening at the top of the league table.
It’s a battle between the French champions and the Spanish champions who are both unbeaten in the league phase so far and have collected a perfect run of two wins from two.
PSG sit top of the tree as things stand due to their superior goal difference which was helped by a 4-2 victory away from home against Manchester City last week. Luis Enrique’s men cruised to a win at the Etihad Stadium and proved why they are one of the favourites to defend their European title once again.
Barcelona, meanwhile, have been superbly impressive in their opening two league phase games. They swept Feyenoord aside 5-1 in their opening match before eclipsing Galatasaray 4-1 at home last time out. PSG are, of course, a huge step up in class so can Hansi Flick’s side earn themselves a third victory tonight?
Paris Saint-Germain host Barcelona in the Champions League tonight.
PSG defeated Manchester City 4-2 away from home last week in what was a sblime performance from the reigning champions against the Premier League leaders.
Desire Doue, Ousmane Dembele and Vitinha slotted three goals past Gianluigi Donnarumma in just over 30 minutes to give the French champions an unassailable lead.
Erling Haaland responded with a brace in the second half but Maghnes Akliouche’s goal just after the hour mark secured all the points.
