PSG – Barcelona

Second round of group stage brings a derby in group F. At Parc des Princes comes Barcelona and this match will be one of the derby this round of Champions League  PSG play this season undefeated and this is something that we expected but we did not expect that they are unbeaten involves only 3 wins in Ligue 1 and 6 unresolved matches and to including the match against Ajax in Champions League.

This game Saints should lost beacause they are really played disappointing. In the last round they drew against Toulouse and it became very obvious that they do not play without Ibrahomovic and can not win no one. And it will not be tomorrow night, because it was not completely recovered from his injuries. Besides him, the Parisians will miss and Lavezzi and Thiago Silva. After we watched a few games PSG this season I did not see anything special so the question is really how much can be expected of them in this game.

In the last two games we saw two faces of Barcelona. Against Malaga, we have seen that pushy Barcelona controlled the ball with anything that does not work when not kicking at goal. Always looking to walk into shot and it made me terribly annoyed with them. However, against Granada, we saw a demonstration of force where the Neymar and Messi joked with feeble defense yet, and I Neymar gave them 3 goals. The Barcelona team are all ready and waiting euphorically this game. Victory would have meant almost secured the first place in the group.

I think Barcelona is currently much stronger team than the Saints, and that without Ibrahimovic and Silva can not win in this match.
