"It won't be easy tomorrow, because they are a team that will dispute the ball, but from the first second we have to play at our highest level, it's the Champions League and that's what I expect from my players."
"We are Barça and we are always among the favorites, but the road is very long and we have to work hard."
Barcelona host defending champions Paris Saint-Germain in a Champions League match with the chance to make a statement. Barcelona reached last season's semi-final while PSG won the final 5-0 against Inter Milan. Some bookmakers list Barcelona among favourites, though the campaign remains long and demanding. Previous meetings ended with PSG winning 6-4 on aggregate in 2023/24. The match is expected to hinge on the midfield duel, with Pedri noted for a masterful recent display. PSG hope for the fitness of João Neves, Fabián Ruiz and Vitinha but will be without Marquinhos, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Désiré Doué and Ousmane Dembélé.
