Barcelona announce Champions League squad to face PSG

FC Barcelona have a mountain to climb at the Camp Nou in Wednesday night when they host French Champions Paris Saint-Germain in the second leg of their 2016/2017 UEFA Champions League tie in a bid to overturn a 4-0 first leg deficit and qualify for the quarter final.

Unai Emery’s men shocked the entire world after putting four goals past FC Barcelona in Paris three weeks ago without even conceding once.. The Frenchmen will not want to enter into the history books for one of the worst reasons ever and will be fully focused against a Barça side who know it will be a hard task but still carry a few sacks of belief with them.

Coach Luis Enrique has named 18 players in his squad to face PSG at the Camp Nou and it’s a pretty expected one. Only two players are out through injuries in Aleix Vidal and Jérémy Mathieu while Jordi Masip and Denis Suarez were left out for technical reasons. Defender Javier Mascherano returns to the team after missing the first leg through injury while André Gomes makes a return to the squad after being left out of Barça’s 5-0 weekend triumph over Celta Vigo due to illness. The squad is a very strong one, and every one of the players must be in full gear of Barcelona would want to pull a historic Remontada.

Goalkeepers: Marc-André Ter Stegen, Jasper Cillessen;

Defenders: Sergi Roberto, Gerard Piqué, Samuel Umtiti, Javier Mascherano, Jordi Alba, Lucas Digne;

Midfielders: Ivan Rakitic, André Gomes, Rafinha Alcántara, Sergio Busquets, Andrés Iniesta, Arda Turan;

Forwards: Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez, Neymar, Paco Alcácer.
