Barcelona and PSG map out their Champions League clash on Tuesday at Parc des Princes

The FC Barcelona face the Paris Saint-Germain this Tuesday at 21:00 in the Parc des Princes in a major Champions League tie, with the Blaugrana already on the move after returning from Sevilla on Sunday.

Hansi Flick’s plan starts with the trip: the team departed for Paris at 10:30, landed at Charles de Gaulle around 12:25, and checked in at Domaine Reine Margot Paris Issy. Before kick-off, Barça train at 18:30 at the stadium, with the first 15 minutes open to the media.

Defence is the key question

The biggest uncertainty is the back line. The absences of Jules Koundé and Eric Garcia force Flick to rethink his defensive setup to handle the pace and movement of PSG’s forwards. On the Paris side, Nuno Mendes is also out, and that changes Luis Enrique’s approach at left side, where Lamine Yamal can threaten in one-on-ones.

PSG will begin earlier too, with an 11:00 session at the Campus Paris Saint-Germain in Poissy, followed by a 13:00 press conference with Luis Enrique and one player. For Barça, the pre-match news comes with Flick and Pedri’s appearance at 17:45.
