El equipo catalán busca regresar a unas semifinales de las Champions League después de cinco años, llegan con una ventaja de 2-3 sobre el PSG.

El Barcelona tiene este martes la oportunidad de clasificarse para unas semifinales de la Champions League cinco años después y reconciliarse con una competición maldita en las últimas temporadas ante un rival, el París Saint-Germain, que visita el Estadio Olímpico Lluís Companys con sed de revancha tras la derrota en la ida (2-3).

Ni el más optimista hubiera pronosticado el pasado 27 de enero, cuando Xavi Hernández anunció su dimisión como técnico del Barcelona, que el equipo azulgrana estaría a disposición de acceder al bombo de los cuatro mejores de Europa.

Desde entonces, el Barça no conoce la derrota. Ha sumado diez victorias y tres empates, aunque el aspecto más relevante en los últimos trece partidos es que ha recuperado la solidez defensiva que le permitió ganar la pasada liga. Nueve goles ha encajado Marc-André Ter Stegen desde que Xavi anunció que dejaba el banquillo a closing de temporada.

Fue esa madurez en la retaguardia una de las claves del partido disputado en el Parque de los Príncipes. Barcelona encajó dos goles, pero fue capaz de neutralizar a Kylian Mbappé, que apenas generó peligro por la excelente defensa de ayudas planteada por Xavi Hernández.

El técnico egarense alineará de nuevo el tridente de centrales formado por Jules Kounde, Ronald Araujo y Pau Cubarsí, con Joao Cancelo como lateral profundo en la izquierda.

Sergi Roberto y Andreas Christensen, dos jugadores clave en la resurrección del Barça, están sancionados, por lo que Xavi apostará por Pedro González ‘Pedri’, que hace una semana recibió el alta médica de su última lesión muscular.

En la punta de ataque,Raphinha, protagonista en la ida con dos goles, Robert Lewandowski y Lamine Yamal mantienen la titularidad. En el banquillo, esperará su momento Joao Félix, autor del gol que dio la victoria al Barcelona este fin de semana en Cádiz.

Será un escenario muy diferente al de hace siete años, cuando el Barcelona superó el 4-0 que había encajado en el Parque de los Príncipes con una goleada (6-1) en su estadio. La palabra “remontada” entró entonces en el diccionario francés. Ahora, las huestes de Luis Enrique viajan para tomarse la revancha y que el concepto, al fin se gire en su beneficio.

La derrota del pasado miércoles no entraba en los planes de nadie en París y ha dejado a toda la mecánica del membership descolocada.

Luis Enrique, que conoce bien la casa del rival y la receta de la remontada, acuden esperanzados para lograr el derecho, que consideran propio de estar entre los cuatro mejores del continente.

¿Motivos para la esperanza? El primero, recuperó al lateral derecho Achraf Hakimi, sancionado en la ida, lo que provocó un efecto espiral que acabó por perturbar toda la defensa. El marroquí, que está siendo uno de los mejores del año, aporta entidad ofensiva y supondrá una amenaza más para los catalanes.

El segundo es que todo París, incluidos los 3,000 aficionados que se sienten en las gradas de Montjuic, cuenta con recuperar la mejor versión de Kylian Mbappé, transparente en el Parque de los Príncipes, pero del que esperan una reacción para que el de este martes no sea su último partido europeo con el PSG.

El técnico también podrá contar con el joven Bradley Barcola, cuya salida en el segundo tiempo del pasado miércoles dio más dinamismo al ataque junto a Mbappé y Ousmane Dembelé, que regresará a la ciudad donde militó durante seis campañas.

¿Cuáles son las alineaciones del Barcelona y PSG para la vuelta?

Barcelona: Ter Stegen; Kounde, Araujo, Cubarsí, Cancelo; Gündogan, De Jong; Pedri, Raphinha; Lamine Yamal y Lewandowski.

París SG: Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Mbappé, Fabián Ruiz, Dembélé, Vitinha, L. Hernández, Nuno Mendes y Barcola.

¿A qué hora es el partido Barcelona vs PSG de la Champions League?
