Luis Enrique and Barcelona share a rich and very successful history. Enrique is said to be the one who perfected Barcelona and made it one of the best teams ever in the history of the game. Now, the Spaniard faces his former club as PSG’s leader, and we are sure that all the memories here won’t mean anything to him. This is a war for the semis of the most prominent club competition in the world, and the win is all that matters here.

PSG vs. Barcelona Preview

PSG

The Saints have a 26-game run during which they haven’t lost a single game. It’s proof of their quality and also, that Enrique’s system started giving results after a bit mild start, during which he introduced his philosophy to the team.

PSG has just one loss this year at Parc des Princes, which was way back in mid-September. Yet after that, they went on a rampage that still lasts, beating most of their rivals and netting two or more goals in the majority of those games.

Unlike before, PSG isn’t focused solely on the offense because Enrique brought some new qualities to the team. One of them is a tactical approach. The team now knows when to slow down and lay back, waiting for the rival’s mistake.

Barcelona

This isn’t the season Blaugrana’s board and fans expected. After winning the La Liga title, many believed that Barca was on its way back to the European top, yet the injuries and inconsistency prevented Xavi’s unit from showing its full potential.

However, they’ve managed to put up an 11-game streak without a loss coming into this event. The team won the last four matches, beating Mallorca, 1-0, Napoli 3-1, demolishing Atletico Madrid on the road, 0-3 and routinely jumping over Las Palmas, 1-0.

The defense stepped up in the past six weeks, posting five clean sheets in six appearances. Backline was a foundation of Barcelona’s success in last year’s title quest, and it is logical to see this part of the team showing up when needed the most.
