by Barcelona vs PSG – LIVE!
Barcelona host Paris Saint-Germain in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie later tonight. The two teams, champions of Spain and France respectively, played their first match in Paris last week, with Barca emerging 3-2 winners.
It means they are confident of reaching the semi-finals in Xavi Hernandez’s final months in charge of his final club. However, key suspensions in the form of Andreas Christensen and Sergi Roberto have been dealt and he will have to shuffle his pack accordingly. Thanks to him, Pedri is back.
For PSG, this could be Kylian Mbappe’s last time in Europe. The striker is widely expected to move to Real Madrid this summer and was quiet in the first leg, so he will be particularly keen to prove it against Barca of all teams. Follow all the action LIVE with Standard Sport’s dedicated game blog!

Barcelona vs PSG: Recap of the first leg
19:44 , Jonathan Gorrie
Barcelona came out on top in an epic battle against Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final.
PSG fought back from Raphinha’s first-half strike to counter with quick-fire goals from Ousmane Dembele and Vitinha. However, what looked like a famous night at the Parc des Princes for Les Parisiens went the way of the Spanish giants once again through Raphinha’s second before Andreas Christensen made it 3-2 just 13 minutes from time.

Achraf Hakimi returns from suspension and will start at right-back, moving Marquinhos back to centre-back, which will likely drop Lucas Beraldo to the bench.
Nordi Mukiele has recovered from concussion and will be on the bench after missing the first leg. Presnel Kimpembe, Layvin Kurzawa and Sergio Rico were ruled out.
