CL quarters: Barca - PSG 2-0 (5-1 agg.)

[Egert]

Playing at Parc des Princes first is good. 1st leg away is always good IMO. But we can't lose there. Minimal take a draw, but we can't lose. Otherwise we would need to do 2011 vs Arsenal.

I have a feeling Barca fans underestimate PSG - they trashed Chelsea with 10 men.

What? Chelsea/Mourinho trashed themselves with their coward tactics. We won't let them have the ball and back off...

We'll win both games. People been saying the same before City games. Dont underestimate etc. The truth is only Bayern, Real and Atleti are a threat.

i don't know about that. I was 99% sure we'd knock out city, but PSG have always caused us problems.

I´m confident. Without Ibra and Verrati they are weaker. Crucial point: corners or free kicks with crosses. They are very good in that matter.
Without injuries my guess is 2 wins.

Atletico will defeat franco´s club again.

You can never write of someone like Zlatan i suppose, but im not so sure if it weakens them much. Verratti will be missed alot.

One bad thing is that we have sevilla away and valencia at home in la liga at the time

4 games in 10 days. Damn.

Not that I disagree with you, but why would you consider Atleti a threat but not PSG?

 

[raki]

PSG are tough but we can beat them over two games. Blanc isn't the best coach around.

Hopefully avoid Bayern in the semis and we've got a great chance at making the final.

What's the situation with suspensions and injuries for PSG?

Verrati and Ibra are out. Ibra could be out for the 2 games. Matuidi is 1 yellow away from suspension.
Barça has Alves suspended. And 4 players with only 1 yellow.

 

[raki]

PSG have even worse calendar.

5th April - away vs Marseille, Ligue 1
8th April - semi-final of French Cup
11th April - final of League Cup
15th April - Barcelona

Nice.
Lucas Moura injured for how long?

I think Blanc will play Marquinhos as RB

 

[Barcilliant]

PSG have a very good chance of beating us. In fact I think they will.
They have played us before so they won't be overawed. Most importantly they've beaten us. The mental part is crucial.
That draw against Chelsea was them coming of age in Europe. Even if we go through it will be very tight.

Too many smug people here.

Nice.

I think Blanc will play Marquinhos as RB

Lucas will be back on the 5th.

 

[linetty]

Most importantly they've beaten us. The mental part is crucial.

And we've beaten them too. What does it change? If anything, the mental part is on our side considering the form we're in.

Verratti being absent in the first leg will feel like half of the team is absent. lol

 

[TornAndFrayed]

Ibra could be out for the 2 games.

One game.

 

[FC B]

Decent draw for me.

Well OK, PSG maybe didn't trash Chelsea all by themselves - Chelsea helped them on the way. But still, Chelsea wouldn't be such cowards if PSG didn't have anything to throw at them.
But Atleti a threat? We've trashed them like 3 times this season and we're getting better while Atleti are kind of loosing their game a little. I'd choose Atleti over PSG 10/10 times. But last season I wouldn't have said the same.
