Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona play in a draw in the rematch of the round of 16 of the Champions League. The French team defeated the Catalans 4:1 as a guest and is the absolute favorite to qualify for the next phase. Barca, on the other hand, hopes to repeat the miracle of the 2016/17 season, when at the same stage of the tournament forecast by buy soccer predictions they lost the first match with 0:4, but then crushed the Parisians with 6:1 and achieved one of the greatest twists in history.

The differences have been considerable since then. First of all, now the rematch is at `Park des Princes`, which is another advantage for PSG, although there will be no audience in the stands. In 2017, the main role for the triumph of Barcelona was Neymar, who already wears the team of Paris Saint-Germain, but will not play tonight due to injury.

The Brazilian is not the only one absent from the home team. Juan Bernat is treating a knee injury and Moyes Keane has a coronavirus. Alessandro Florenzi also had problems, but was among the starters. The Italian will act as a right back, and the other defenders before Keylor Navas are Marquinhos, Presnel Kimpembe and Levin Kurzava. The three in the middle of the field are Idrissa Gay, Leandro Paredes and Marco Verratti, and in the front positions the hero of the first match Kylian Mbappe will have the support of Mauro Icardi and Julian Draxler, who is preferred to Angel Di Maria.

The attack on Barcelona is led by Lionel Messi, Antoine Griezmann and Ousmane Dembele. Pedry and Sergio Busquets will be the two inside midfielders, and Frankie De Jong has been moved to Oscar Mingesa and Clement Langle in defense. Thus, for Serginho Dest and Jordi Alba there will be more freedom on both flanks. At the door is Mark-Andre ter Stegen. Gerard Pique, Ronald Araujo, Sergi Roberto, Ansu Fati and Philippe Coutinho are injured and cannot help the Blaugranas.

Rivals have been in good shape in recent weeks. PSG is two points closer to the leader in Ligue 1 Lille, and Barcelona has seriously shortened its gap with the leader in La Liga Atletico Madrid, while securing a place in the final of the King`s Cup. Both teams had more than one and two battles in the Champions League. Barca also eliminated Parisians in the 2014/15 season in the quarterfinals after 3:1 in France and 2:0 in Spain. In the 2012/13 season, the two teams were again against each other in the quarter-finals, as both matches ended in a draw - 2:2 at `Park des Princes` and 1:1 at the `Camp Nou`, but the Catalans advancedbecause of more goals on foreign soil. Only in the first elimination clash between them in the quarter-finals in 1994/95, the French eliminated Barca after 1:1 in Spain and 2:1 in `Park des Princes`. The Catalans showed great desire in the opening minutes and pressed the opponent in his half. In the first hour, Barcelona created three clear positions, but did not use any of them. Messi fired inaccurately from a direct free kick, and Dembele failed twice. The Frenchman first shot too weakly from a comfortable position, and a little later sent the ball high above the door.
