Xavi will be forced into a reshuffle from the first leg with veteran midfielder Sergi Roberto and match winner Christensen both suspended for this game. Pedri is expected to come into the midfield to replace Roberto.
Teenage pair Pau Cubarsi and Lamine Yamal should keep their starting spots but Xavi will be wary of five players being just one yellow card away from missing a potential semifinal first leg.
Barcelona predicted XI (4-3-3 right to left): Ter Stegen (GK) — Kounde, Araujo, Cubarsi, Cancelo — Gundogan, De Jong, Pedri — Lamine Yamal, Lewandowski, Raphinha.

Barcelona vs PSG prediction
Xavi’s decision to leave Barcelona this summer has triggered a bizarrely galvanising effect on his team, and they are unbeaten in the 13 games since his announcement, including six successive wins.
PSG’s attack are a formidable force, but with Barcelona conceding just once in their last four home games, the Catalans will be confident of withstanding Mbappe and Co. on home soil.
Prediction: Barcelona 1-0 PSG
