Paris Saint-Germain will hope to avoid being on the wrong end of another storming Barcelona comeback when they welcome the Blaugrana to the Parc des Princes for the second leg of their Champions League last-16 battle.
A Kylian Mbappe-inspired Parisiens eased to a 4-1 victory in the first leg at Camp Nou, and unless Barcelona can channel the spirit of the 2016-17 La Remontada team, PSG should have no problems advancing to the quarter-finals.
Mauricio Pochettino's men warmed up for this mouthwatering clash with a comfortable 3-0 triumph over fellow Ligue 1 outfit Brest in the Coupe de France, with Kylian Mbappe (2) and Pablo Sarabia finding the back of the net.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Barcelona's injury and suspension news ahead of the second leg.
