The Parc des Princes will be bouncing for this week’s Champions League quarter-final between Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona.
Xavi’s LaLiga giants travel to the French capital on an 11-game unbeaten run and with fond memories of facing PSG in the knockout stages of this competition.
The famous ‘Remontada’ of 2017 saw Barcelona fight back from four goals down to win 6-1 in the second leg for a historic comeback that PSG will be desperate to avenge this month.
Luis Enrique’s team have not lost in 27 matches, a run dating back to early November, and with Ligue 1 all-but in the bag they can focus on winning the Champions League for the first time.

Presnel Kimpembe is the only confirmed absentee for Les Parisiens, who will have Bradley Barcola back in their squad.
Mbappe will be joined by Ousmane Dembele in attack with Barcola, Randal Kolo Muani and Le Kang-in the options to join them.
There is talk in Spain that Xavi will lean on the team who beat Napoli to reach the quarter-finals.
That would see Andreas Christensen continue in midfield alongside Ilkay Gundogan, with Lamine Yamal and Raphinha flanking Robert Lewandowski up front.

PSG vs Barcelona prediction
The French side are well rested and in flying form but have a knack of making these big European nights more difficult than they perhaps need to be.
A 1-1 draw.
