At 4 o'clock in the morning on February 17th, Beijing time, the first leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals ushered in a focus battle. Barcelona played against Paris at the Nou Camp.
Barcelona vs Paris, the highlights of the game are as follows:
First: Messi is in good condition, can he help Barcelona get the upper hand? Messi has been in good shape recently. Last round of La Liga two long-range shots helped Barcelona beat Alaves 5-1. The Champions League 1/8 finals opened, Barcelona vs. Paris, Messi's excellent state is the key to the team's victory.
Second: The injuries of Neymar and Di Maria have a huge impact! Neymar's injury again has a huge impact on Paris's Champions League. Nowadays, there are more players in the Paris team who eat pie, but fewer players. Paris does not have the two major passers of Neymar and Di Maria, which will make Mbappe, Icardi, Keane and other attackers lose half of their power. Pochettino needs to design more concise and efficient for Paris. Tactics, defending and counterattack is the best policy.
Third: Umtiti is a hidden danger for Barcelona! Barcelona's offensive end is still excellent, but the defensive end is very unstable. Umtiti, who has returned after a long-term knee problem, has not yet reached his best form. The mistakes and return of the French central defender are still the biggest shortcomings of Barcelona's current lineup. Beto is injured, Koeman needs to stabilize Barcelona's defense.
