FC Barcelon, Paris Saint-Germain Announce Starting Lineups For Champions League Quarter-final Second Leg

Barcelona starts Pedri and Frenkie De Jong in today’s Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain.

The La Liga champions are slightly ahead following an exciting 3-2 victory in the first leg at the French capital last week, but they will be facing PSG without Andreas Christensen, one of their top scorers.

Christensen and Sergi Roberto, who faced PSG in the first league, are both sidelined following reservations in Paris.

It means Pedri returns to the starting lineup now he has recovered from a thigh injury, although Gavi and Alejandro Balde are long-term absentees.
