Paris St. Germain - FC Barcelona 02/04/2013 19:45 GMT
PSG`s last loss at home was in November 2012 and the team certainly maintains great form during this season. Milan and Celtic proved that Barcelona can be defeated in the Champions League, especially when not playing at the Camp Nou and this undoubtedly gives extra motivation to Carlo Ancelotti and his team.
After the heavy defeats by Real Madrid and AC Milan, FC Barcelona still can not fully find the form, in which was devastating all their opponents. Proof of this is the 2-2 draw in the last round against Celta, which is a team struggling to stay in the Primera Division. At the Parc des Princes it will definitely be difficult for the players of Barcelona. However, the "Catalans" showed that they can overcome any opponent with ease, by virtually crushing AC Milan with 4-0 in a 1/8 finals match at the Camp Nou.
To succeed in this meeting Paris Saint Germain will have to observe carefully how AC Milan played against Barcelona at the San Siro. Milan players managed to slow down the pace of the game and throughout the match there were no more than 25 meters between the attack and defense of the Italians. The hosts even did not take care of the grass, which also had an impact on the speed of the ball. It is possible to see a similar approach from PSG.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be highly motivated to punish the team that did not trust his capabilities. At the other team, the most dangerous footballer, of course, remains Lionel Messi, who continues to amaze with his performances. An interesting match is expected, in which it is likely that the Italian approach of Carlo Ancelotti will be notices. He might try to isolate the attacking players of Barcelona and to win the game with just one goal.
