Borussia Dortmund stormed into the Champions League semi-finals with a rip-roaring 4-2 house win over Atlético Madrid on Tuesday that noticed them combat again from a 2-1 defeat within the first leg to win the tie 5-4 on mixture.

The German aspect scored twice within the first half and cruising into the final 4, however Atletico bounced again with two targets early within the second half to place Dortmund on the ropes earlier than they dug deep to finish an excellent comeback.

Dortmund will now tackle Paris Saint-Germain, who got here again from 4-2 right down to beat Barcelona 6-4 on mixture, within the semifinals, with a spot within the last on June 1 at London’s Wembley Stadium at stake.

“We performed an extremely good first half, then there was the extraordinarily unlucky purpose conceded, [but] how we got here again, wow,” delighted Dortmund coach Edin Terzic stated in a TV interview.

The sport bought off to a flying begin, and midfielder Marcel Sabitzer was solely prevented from placing the house aspect forward within the third minute by a last-ditch block from César Azpilicueta as the house aspect got here flying out of the blocks.

Julian Brandt put Dortmund degree on mixture within the thirty fourth minute, latching on to a superb go from Mats Hummels and firing house, and 5 minutes later Dortmund took the lead within the quarter-final tie as Ian Maatsen lower in from the left and drilled a perfectly-placed shot in on the foot of the far publish.

Atletico coach Diego Simeone made a triple substitution on the break and it paid dividends virtually instantly as Dortmund defender Hummels turned the ball into his personal web within the forty ninth minute, and substitute Ángel Correa put the Spaniards again within the lead within the tie within the sixty fourth minute, scoring on the second try.

Nevertheless, the house aspect struck again and striker Niclas Fullkrug made it 4-4 on mixture with a superb glancing header from Sabitzer’s cross within the 74th minute.

“I take into consideration all the probabilities we created within the two video games, however we weren’t medical,” Simeone stated. “We had the prospect for [Samuel] Lino to make it 3-0 [in the first leg]. Congratulations to the opponent, we competed in addition to we will, now we give attention to LaLiga.

“They had been higher, and when a staff is best you must congratulate them.”

The house followers had barely retaken their seats following that purpose when Sabitzer popped up on the sting of the field, steadying himself with a superb first contact earlier than drilling house the winner in entrance of an ecstatic crowd three minutes later.

“It was a fantastic recreation for everybody who got here to the stadium. We performed a fantastic first half, it took us 5 or 10 minutes (to get going) within the second half, we’ve got to simply accept that, however the reply to that [the Atletico goals] was sensational,” goal-scorer Brandt stated.

JON BON JOVI shouldn’t be pleased with me. ‘You’re lacking marks far and wide,’ he says in his front room. He is responding to my paraphrasing a quote concerning the vapidness of the Hollywood way of life from certainly one of his outdated interviews and what turned out to be an incorrect assertion I discussed a couple of separate historic constructing that was once on the property. His assistant instructed me the muse of that construction needed to be eliminated, and Bon Jovi infers I’m insinuating that there was as soon as one thing fallacious along with his French neoclassical mansion, constructed from scratch down the Jersey shore within the late ’90s. He’ll later level out a framed picture illustration of a house rising out of a really sturdy tree trunk – the artwork for the 2016 album This Home Is Not for Sale—seemingly to underline the metaphor: We’re on secure floor right here, thanks very a lot.

Very secure: Bon Jovi – the group, although additionally the Jon – has grossed greater than $1.3 billion in tour income and bought greater than 120 million copies of 15 albums (quickly to be 16, with June’s forthcoming Ceaselessly). The hard-pop-rock group has been inducted into the Rock & Roll Corridor of Fame with a Grammy-winning oeuvre whose subject material spans the goings-on at strip golf equipment and the sensible repercussions of labor disputes. As a person, Bon Jovi launched two albums and had a short however hunky performing profession within the late ’90s and early ’00s that he says was, like Madonna’s and David Bowie’s, hamstrung by his unwillingness to surrender music.

Bon Jovi has been honoured by the Songwriters Corridor of Fame and the Backyard State Parkway, the place the Jon Bon Jovi Service Space (exit 124) encompasses a Sbarro and a hologram of JBJ speaking about pork roll. His band’s formation, ascent, and dominance are documented – alongside his 2022 tour-halting vocal-cord points – within the four-part Hulu documentary Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story, premiering April 26. Sequence director Gotham Chopra sums up the attractive workingman attraction by quoting his cousins in India: “Bon Jovi had this loopy hair, quick vehicles, and ‘Livin’ on a Prayer’ … Bon Jovi was America.”

Bon Jovi is chatting with me in late March to advertise the docuseries however appears to be having second ideas. ‘I’m frightened of this interview,’ he says. He squints in what seems to be annoyance underneath bangs which have remained resplendent over his 41 years because the frontman of his eponymous band. Bon Jovi is sitting catty-corner to the deep couch I’m on, an unlimited proxemic house for an intimate dialog between two individuals in certainly one of their properties. He appears each relaxed in his dominant place – his wide-legged, foot-planted posture in a cream armchair conjures the Lincoln Memorial, if the president had been sporting denims and a T-shirt – and emotionally coiled. Once we’re on a subject the 62-year-old is comfy with, like his charitable work or household, Bon Jovi opens the massive hair clip he’s holding and slowly releases it, generally attaching the claw to his formidable triceps. Once we get to topics he likes much less, corresponding to questions that don’t jibe along with his personal self-analysis, he lets the clip snap shut in his hand.

He says within the doc and echoes to me, ‘By 40 you begin to measure, Did you accomplish what you got down to do? By 50 you begin to consider a legacy. By 60, I feel because the Chinese language proverb says, it’s mainly, You’re the man you had been meant to be.’ The assertion implies acceptance – particularly when he tells me, ‘Now whether or not it’s man, a foul man, a non secular man, not a non secular man, a fulfilled man, no matter’—however any aberrance in my interpretation from his personal is met with irritation.

The mark is missed once more when Bon Jovi talks about his love of American historical past and “obsession” with Benjamin Franklin, whom he calls “the brains behind the brains.” Is that how Bon Jovi thinks about behind-the-scenes individuals just like the band’s longtime producer Obie O’Brien and Desmond Baby, cowriter of lots of the band’s largest songs? ‘Why would you say that?’ Bon Jovi says, looking at me. Snap.

He has a unique analogy: ‘Henry Ford didn’t construct the automotive. He got here up with the concept.’ As for the non-eponymous members of Bon Jovi, ‘Everybody was a fantastic contributor alongside the best way, for certain.’ In different phrases, on the Bon Jovi manufacturing facility, Jon is Henry Ford; the others are on the meeting line. His collaborators agree. Baby – who named Bon Jovi godparent to his children and is appropriately happy with cowriting “Livin’ on a Prayer,” which he calls “the nationwide anthem of New Jersey”— says, ‘the graciousness of Jon Bon Jovi is permitting us to be a part of the circle.’ Chopra says Bon Jovi keyboardist David Bryan instructed him, ‘Jon’s just like the captain of the ship, and I’m in cabin 37C. I’m going the place he goes.’

This can be a man who was described to me by way of electronic mail as a “perfectionist” by his pal Tom Brady, which is somewhat like Elon Musk calling somebody “very on-line.” Bon Jovi makes use of Brady’s TB12 exercise methodology, and his coach Felicia instructed me she was dispatched to train, therapeutic massage, and acupuncture Bon Jovi all over the world after he tried to rent Brady’s personal private coach and was instructed that man already had a job. Nowadays, he trains with Felicia very first thing within the morning, 5 to 6 occasions every week. He used to do a whole lot of heavy weight lifting (a high-impact exercise) and working (onerous on the knees). However after a profession’s price of occupational accidents (shoulder, calf, plantar fasciitis, meniscus tears), he now prizes pliability, abetted by stretching and resistance bands. It retains him performing to his exacting skilled requirements, whereas sustaining a each day tennis behavior. ‘If I could possibly be on the seniors handicap division {of professional} tennis,’ he says, ‘that is my aspiration.’

To have a five-decade run main one of the vital profitable bands on this planet doesn’t occur accidentally; Bon Jovi has described himself as a “benevolent dictator.” ‘Jon at all times desires to present everybody the perfect expertise,’ Brady says. ‘He has at all times been into taking good care of himself, as a result of he’s a performer and he by no means desires to let anybody down.’ If his prickliness appears to be at odds with making individuals really feel good, it would simply be Bon Jovi’s brusque approach of indicating that somebody isn’t assembly the requirements he holds himself to. An ideal end result doesn’t have to come back from an ideal course of, as he tells me throughout our less-than-seamless dialog.

Bon Jovi congratulating Tom Brady after the AFC Championship recreation in opposition to the Pittsburgh Steelers, January 22, 2017.

However at this level in Bon Jovi’s life, “push[ing] himself to the bounds,” as Brady says, and asserting management – of himself, of the best way individuals understand him – can’t change the inevitable entropy of the human physique or the added pressure from this a few years of being a musical icon, the best way he’s executed it. It might probably’t make new his vocal wire, as small as a thumbnail, which Bon Jovi says “runs the financial system.”

There’s a scene within the docuseries during which Bon Jovi expresses awe that he ‘used to run round this stuff – levels – like a motherfucker. Showboating fucker,’ he says. ‘Top-of-the-line there ever was. Now the champ is drained.’ When it’s instructed which means he fatigues extra simply than he did many years in the past, Bon Jovi curtly says, ‘No. I had a whole lot of power. I used to be 25 and 30 years outdated. I wouldn’t wish to run across the stage in that method now.’ That seems like making a advantage of necessity, however in individual his physique – greater than twice the age of that child’s however nonetheless lithe from the Brady routine – reveals no seen bodily limitations, even within the gymnasium.

For instance his level, Bon Jovi begins the setup of a joke a couple of younger bull and an older bull deciding how briskly to go down a hill. (He judiciously decides to not inform it, however mainly the youthful bull suggests they run down and mate with a cow. The older one says as an alternative they need to stroll and have intercourse with all the cows.) Bon Jovi says of the bull analogy, ‘The concept is that with age comes expertise and with expertise comes the chance to only do issues in a different way. Nonetheless the identical end result however simply in a different way.’ He says he went to Tony Bennett’s final present, lower than a 12 months earlier than the singer died of Alzheimer’s at 96. He ‘nonetheless hit the excessive notes,’ Bon Jovi says. The potential for being that type of exception appears tantalising, even with the daunting actuality that Bon Jovi is 33 years away from that age and making an attempt to rebuild to touring primarily based on the physique and voice he has, not the physique and voice he used to have.

The docuseries is a mirror of how all of us take care of turning into our older, precise selves when it additionally issues what our previous iterations imply about us. No matter Bon Jovi’s buddy Bruce Springsteen says, it’s truly high quality to carry on to glory days, even when we don’t wish to consider it that approach. It’s additionally not shocking somebody whose days had been as superb as Bon Jovi’s nonetheless seeks transcendence from earthly life, even when the music that created his success revels in it. The refrain of the band’s new track “Legendary” insists, ‘Received what I would like ’trigger I received what I would like, received a fistful of buddies that’ll arise for me, proper the place I’m is the place I wanna be.’

Bon Jovi in his residence studio the place the band recorded its new album ’Ceaselessly.’

There’s an outdated interview during which a younger Bon Jovi discusses the “hazard” of turning into a heritage act just like the E Avenue Band or the Rolling Stones, and he clarifies to me what occurs when your peak – by the requirements of actuarial tables and the Billboard Scorching 100 checklist – is many years behind you. ‘You may’t ultimately compete with this 12 months’s mannequin of the highest pop act,’ he says. ‘However as a legacy band just like the Rolling Stones and the E Avenue Band, you’re going to promote out each night time, and also you’re going to play to a sure crowd with the hopes that you simply’re going to draw a youthful crowd primarily based on individuals telling individuals.… I’m not chasing pop radio. I can’t! I’m too outdated.’

When I attempt to pin Bon Jovi down on the type of man he’s, now that he’s who he’s meant to be, in response to his proverb, he says he’s “a piece in progress.” Whereas this could possibly be a time to take pleasure in what he’s constructed—and he does say with evident sincerity that he is aware of he’s “extremely blessed, past comprehension” – Bon Jovi is clearly nonetheless chasing one thing. Although we go many conversational rounds the place he pushes again on the concept of needing validation or particular markers of relevance, he nonetheless burns to create issues that make them come. ‘By happenstance,’ he tells me, as if writing a profitable track was an accident and never a purpose, “Legendary”—that ode to appreciating the mundanity of atypical life – ‘is fucking exploding. We’re on Scorching AC Radio. I imply, that’s the place they play J-Lo and Ice Spice for goodness’ sake. And it’s exploding. So go determine. However hooray for us. We did it once more.’

THANK YOU, GOODNIGHT, is a brand new strategy to making an attempt Bon Jovian perfection once more. For the mission, he personally approached Chopra, who cofounded the manufacturing firm Faith of Sports activities with Brady and Michael Strahan. Bon Jovi says of the Emmy-winning filmmaker, ‘I felt his relation to sport [and] his relation to spirituality had been two issues that I may join with, primarily based on what his father does.’ (Chopra’s father is Deepak, the alternative-medicine advocate.) Chopra says he defined quickly after he and Bon Jovi met in February 2022, ‘Hey, sometime Males’s Well being goes to do an article on this. If you happen to’re a producer, man, and in case your fingers are throughout this, it’s going to be a conceit piece. That’s what it’s going to be, whether or not it’s or not … that’s simply how this stuff get framed.’ So Bon Jovi forewent remaining reduce and isn’t a credited producer. ‘He’s very good,’ Chopra says of Bon Jovi and his understanding of why it benefitted him to not overtly intervene with the filmmaking course of. ‘There’s a cause he’s not solely been a prolific artist however a prolific businessperson.’

Bon Jovi says he gave Chopra entry to his life and the individuals in (and previously in) it with independence as a result of ‘there was no want for a puff piece at this level in my life.’ It’s additionally in all probability protected to imagine that as a result of Thank You was produced by his pal Brady’s Faith of Sports activities, there wasn’t a lot danger it could be unflattering to him.

There are dissenting opinions represented within the sequence. Together with Bon Jovi’s former supervisor Doc McGhee – who acts precisely such as you’d suppose a person named Doc who managed Bon Jovi and Mötley Crüe within the Nineteen Eighties would, full with drug smuggling – the documentary options ex-guitarist Richie Sambora, whom Bon Jovi describes within the docuseries as his “excellent foil” and was in all probability as near a counterpart because it’s doable for a non–Bon Jovi member of Bon Jovi to get. In archival footage, Sambora describes the problem of serving on the pleasure of Jon Bon Jovi. ‘See, in Bon Jovi, even once I write with Jon, I write for Jon to have the ability to sing what he wants to have the ability to sing,’ he says. Sambora additionally shares the story of being fired from the group. (Recollections range: Bon Jovi and different members of the band level to Sambora’s substance abuse and the truth that he didn’t present up for songwriting periods or a present, whereas Sambora says, ‘Jon received in an odd temper about time’ and pins his personal absence on caring for his daughter throughout ex-wife Heather Locklear’s mental-health points.)

Bon Jovi performs on stage at Seibu Stadium for Tremendous Rock ’84, twelfth August 1984, Tokyo, Japan.

The historic retelling of the band is juxtaposed with the 2022 tour they had been about to embark on. When Chopra instructed that construction, he says he wasn’t conscious of the extent of Bon Jovi’s vocal points. Bon Jovi admits, ‘There was a couple of times the place I stated, “Get out of the room”‘ when he was struggling. Chopra says the singer reminds him of the punctilious Kobe Bryant, who was additionally the topic of a Chopra documentary. ‘I knew early on he will be combative,’ Chopra says of Bon Jovi, ‘so it’s important to interact him in different methods. Like, not get into fights with him, as a result of for those who do, he’s not gonna wish to lose.’ Although the documentary vividly captures Bon Jovi’s drive and meticulousness, his pugnaciousness isn’t a presence.

Through the monthlong tour, Bon Jovi’s vocal high quality suffered to the purpose the place his spouse, Dorothea, intervened. The couple have recognized one another since highschool and can have been married, as of April 29, for 35 years. Their relationship endured the type of touring mishegoss that impressed the album title Slippery When Moist; within the docuseries, Sambora says, ‘we seemed higher than half the women we ended up with’ on the primary tour, which Bon Jovi calls “the American moist dream.”

When Dorothea is the subject of dialog – her love of RuPaul’s Drag Race, her fourth-degree black belt in karate – Bon Jovi visibly relaxes. Whereas different smiles flashed throughout the dialog really feel like warning indicators, the Dorothea grins are heat. We’re not combating anymore; we’re in settlement that she could be very, very cool. Chopra says that Dorothea served as an unofficial fact-checker throughout manufacturing, anchoring her husband’s recollections to context. As one of many few members outdoors of Bon Jovi’s skilled world and band hierarchy, her onscreen presence is equally grounding. You see Bon Jovi when he’s in his 20s and probably the most lovely individual alive, with all of the hair and all the ladies and all of the loopy tales … then there’s Dorothea, who feels so strong and actual. (It must be stated that Dorothea was – and, like her husband, stays – a fox.) ‘I lastly wanted the next excessive,’ Bon Jovi says within the docuseries of why he eloped with Dorothea in Las Vegas in 1989 after six years of touring with the band. There’s footage of them taking a motorbike journey on which Dorothea says the rule was they might keep solely in motels that price lower than $30 an evening. It was her thought to start out the JBJ Soul Kitchen, a pay-what-you-can restaurant that has 4 areas in New Jersey. After I meet her, she’s leaning on a doorframe in ankle-high slippers and plotting about get a pal and native recipient of a portion of a profitable billion-dollar lottery ticket to donate cash to the charity.

However the tour was difficult for her husband. Even usually pleasant native papers had been publishing brutal opinions. ‘Sunday’s present delivered just about every part you’d need from a Bon Jovi live performance with one main exception – some shockingly poor vocals from Jon Bon Jovi,’ wrote the St. Paul Pioneer Press of their April 3 present. ‘One can’t assist however surprise why nobody within the Bon Jovi organisation sat the man down for an sincere chat. I suppose it’s as a result of he’s the boss and nobody desires to cross him?’ After a efficiency in Nashville a number of weeks later – sponsored by Hampton Water, Bon Jovi’s rosé collaboration with certainly one of his 4 kids – Bon Jovi got here backstage and assessed the present for Dorothea. ‘That was fairly good,’ he stated, scoring it within the “excessive 80s.” He says she responded, ‘No.’

Chopra says, ‘Dorothea might be the one one who each has the angle but in addition simply the balls to say that to him.’ (‘I don’t want my spouse to inform me how nice I’m,’ Bon Jovi says pointedly, after I point out it could be troublesome for me to listen to from my partner that I wasn’t doing job.)

‘It sucked,’ he says. It sucked to cease the tour. It sucked that his spouse needed to disabuse him of the concept he was performing effectively. It sucked to have a vocal wire atrophy to the purpose the place he underwent surgical procedure. It sucked that Bon Jovi’s unbelievable work ethic – being a “good boy,” as he places it – couldn’t be assured to repair the difficulty to the purpose the place he’s certain he’ll have the ability to exit once more two and a half hours an evening, 4 nights every week. ‘This expertise has sucked,’ Bon Jovi reiterates. ‘This album’ – the forthcoming Ceaselessly, from which Bon Jovi turned suck into music – ‘is nice.’ Clearly, it could actually suck if he’s not capable of tour it; that may solely occur when and if his voice helps it, which it at the moment doesn’t.

“That is WHAT I DO. It’s not WHO I AM. I’m not outlined by the man beside the microphone. There’s SO MUCH MORE.”

‘The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh,’ Bon Jovi says of accepting that that is in the end out of his fingers. He describes himself as a recovering Catholic, citing the ‘fairly rotten guilt laid into the Catholic faith in an organised approach.’ Bon Jovi has his personal communion, which sounds so much much less accepting of the truth that what occurs along with his vocal cords is in God’s fingers. ‘I sang “Prayer” yesterday at [vocal] remedy,’ he says, explaining he desires to “clear up a false impression with this storyline on the market now.” Completely. I can hit the excessive B’s and C’s, no downside.’ His talking voice immediately actually sounds a lot stronger than it was within the documentary.

Bon Jovi maintains that he won’t return to touring except he’s “100% of 100%.” ‘We’re so blessed at this level that we are able to exit,’ he says. ‘I’m amazed, as a result of I’ve heard [everyone from] docs to individuals within the trade say to me, “Folks can pay cash simply to see you go up there and do it.” I don’t need their cash, and I’m not going to spend their time. It’s simply not an possibility.’ (For what it’s price, Chopra requested Springsteen, who seems within the docuseries, if he performs as effectively in his 70s as he did as a youthful man. He says Springsteen stated, “No, however you understand what I’m? I’m a fucking rock star.”)

Bon Jovi says he watched a tough reduce of Thank You, Goodnight a number of months in the past. ‘There have been laughs and tears to see all of it there in entrance of you,’ he says. ‘To know you’re at your individual bar mitzvah or wake, relying on the way you have a look at it.’

At his residence studio Bon Jovi has recordings from the periods for his early albums.

When requested who he’s when he can’t do what he does – be a present touring icon – Bon Jovi tells me, ‘That is what I do. It’s not who I am.’ He provides, ‘I’m not outlined by the man beside the microphone. There’s a lot extra.’ He is aware of we all know the ground-out accomplishments that preceded this second of Zen. His voice isn’t gradual and irritated sounding, prefer it was once I was lacking all these marks. Bon Jovi sounds as grateful and safe as he says he’s. ‘You don’t overlook concerning the different 40 years of being Tom Brady now that he’s not throwing a soccer any longer,’ he says of his peer in perfection. Nonetheless: ‘He’s not going to have the ability to go to the Tremendous Bowl once more except he buys a ticket.’

Bon Jovi says he has a brand new mantra. ‘”It’s not ‘Seize the day,”‘ he says. “It’s ‘Embrace the day.” I used to wish to punch it within the face, roll off the bed swinging. Now I wish to hug it.’

However for all of the discuss of the mantra, his assertion that he’s a river, at all times flowing and adjusting its course, {that a} post-touring profession might be full sufficient with grandkids and wine and philanthropy, it’s clear Bon Jovi shouldn’t be submitting to no matter might be. If anybody truly thinks that, effectively, to cite Bon Jovi quoting Benjamin Franklin, “Fuck ’em.”

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?

Fecha: martes 16 de abril Hora: 13:00 horas CDMX / 15:00 horas ET
