Xavi bets on Pedri to eliminate PSG

Xavi Hernández will have his ideal midfield to welcome PSG and seek the Champions League semi-finals. The Barcelona coach has opted for the presence of Pedri in the midfield, along with De Jong and Gündogan, who already started in Paris. The Canarian has played two good times against PSG and Cádiz and in Montjuïc he regains his place in the eleven.

With the suspensions of Sergi Roberto and Christensen, the rest of the Barcelona lineup is as expected. This is the complete eleven: Ter Stegen, Koundé, Cubarsí, Araújo, Cancelo, De Jong, Gündogan, Pedri, Lamine Yamal, Raphinha and Lewandowski. Regarding Paris, Pedri comes in for Sergi Roberto.

As for PSG, it presents three changes in the eleven with respect to the Parc des Princes. Achraf Hakimi comes in at right back, Zaïre Emery in midfield and Barcola up front. Beraldo, Kang In Lee and Marco Asensio leave the ownership.

The complete PSG eleven is as follows: Donnarumma, Achraf, Marquinhos, Lucas Hernández, Nuno Mendes, Vitinha, Zaïre Emery, Fabián Ruiz, Dembélé, Mbappé and Barcola.
