Barcelona is looking to extend their unbeaten streak to eight matches on Tuesday as the team travels to France to face off against Paris Saint-German. PSG might be the reigning Ligue Un champions, but Barcelona has excellent momentum as they continue their quest to reach Berlin. PSG's run of the domestic title has come under fire in recent matches as the team has met some struggles and meeting up with Barcelona might not help the rebounding effort to secure their third-straight title.
Laurent Blanc has seen his job security come under fire recently after reports of locker distress headlined the team as they trail Bordeaux and Lille. The team has struggled to continue the recent dominating legacy of the club and some believe a loss to Barcelona could bring big changes to PSG in the coming days. The club's demanding owners will not take a slide from the top for too long.
Barcelona cannot risk overlooking PSG as they still stand to give the team a quality game. Barca is hoping to truly send a statement by beating PSG after dominating Granada and Levante. The team will get Gerard Pique and Jordi Alba back for the match giving Barcelona the luxury of a full-strength squad. The team is in need of the best goal scorers on the field given the strength of PSG's frontline. Claudio Bravo might get the start of Marc-Andre ter Stegen giving his inexperience while he looked strong in his debut game against APOEL Nicosia. His abilities to stop shots are needed in this game. Along with Lionel Messie and Neymar, Barcelona has yet to concede a single goal while putting up 17 total.
PSG will rely heavily on Marquinhos as their best defender following the injury to THiago Silva. Facing Messi and Neymar will certainly be the biggest test the Brazilian must face. David Luiz was supposed to be the team's star, but he has struggled on the field, giving Marquinhos the start over two of the world's top goal scorers. Neymar is fresh off a hat trick while Messi had two against Granada. They are the biggest threat to PSG and their quest to get the year back on track.
