After four years away, Barcelona will return to the UEFA Champions League today, against Paris Saint-Germain in France. Xavi Hernández’s team will return to the most important competition in Europe as a true test by fire.
After four years, this will be Barcelona’s first Champions League quarterfinal match since August 2020, when they suffered their biggest defeat in European competition (8-2 against Bayern Munich). They have only managed to reach the semi-finals in one of their last five quarter-final appearances (in 2018/19 against Manchester United).
The biggest defeat suffered by PSG in the European Cup/Champions League was by Barcelona (6-1 at the Camp Nou in March 2017), a result that meant their elimination in the round of 16 despite the 4-0 win. favor of going.
Barcelona was led at that time by the current PSG coach, Luis Enrique, in that historic comeback, since it was the only time that a team qualified in a round-trip tie in the European Cup/Champions League after losing in the first leg by at least four goals difference.
One of the three times Barcelona have lost by four goals away in the European Cup/Champions League was against Paris Saint-Germain in February 2017, when they were beaten 4-0 against Liverpool in May 2019 and against Bayern Munich in April 2013
Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona have faced each other 12 times in the Champions League with a perfectly balanced background with four wins for each and four draws.
