Barcelona will try to reach their first UEFA Champions League semifinal since 2019 when they host Paris Saint-Germain at Montjuic.
Xavi’s team won a thrilling quarterfinal first leg at Parc des Princes last week as Raphinha scored an excellent brace and Andreas Christensen came off the bench to head the winner.
PSG came from 1-0 down at halftime to lead 2-1 before subsiding and Luis Enrique will hope for a more telling impact from Kylian Mbappe, who existed largely on the margins of the initial encounter.
The Sporting News is following Barcelona vs. PSG live, providing score updates, commentary and highlights as they happen.

Barcelona vs PSG live updates, highlights, and commentary
2 hrs 10 mins before kickoff: Luis Enrique heads back to Catalonia for a game that could do plenty to define his PSG tenure. The former Barcelona boss has done plenty to remould this team in his image. His PSG are a younger, more dynamic and tactically flexible outfit than the previous sides that have failed in their attempts to secure European glory. We saw that as they ransacked Barca early in last week’s second half. But suffering defeat when the pressure ramped up felt very much like the PSG of old. Tonight Luis Enrique needs to show a definitive break from that history.
2 hrs 40 mins before kickoff: Barcelona and Xavi have looked like a collective with the weight lifted off their shoulders since the head coach announced he would leave at the end of this season. The Blaugrana are currently on a six-match winning streak across all competitions and you have to go back 14 fixtures to find their previous defeat — a helter-skelter 5-3 LaLiga loss at home to Villarreal on January 27.
3 hours before kickoff: Hello and welcome to The Sporting News’ coverage of Barcelona vs. Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals. These two sides produced a little masterpiece in Paris six days ago. Same again?
