PSG's Record that Sends Shivers Down Barcelona's Spine
The Culés will face a tough test against an undefeated Parisian side
The Champions League Quarterfinals are just around the corner - taking place on April 9, 10, 16, and 17 - and with them will come spectacular matchups, with the PSG vs Barcelona game standing out as a potential "early final."
Prior to the much-anticipated clash, the Spanish side will face a tough challenge: PSG's undefeated streak of 25 matches. Under the guidance of Luis Enrique, the Parisian team has not lost since November 7, 2023, when they fell to Milan in the group stage of the Champions League. Since that setback, Les Rouge et Bleu have accumulated significant victories in Ligue 1, including a crushing win over Marseille in Le Classique.
In addition to their 25-match unbeaten run, Luis Enrique's side has gone seven months without defeat at the Parc des Princes, which will be the venue for the first leg of this tie. On Wednesday, April 10, 2024, Barcelona will attempt to halt PSG's good form.
AN OLD PRECEDENT
The team from the French capital must be eagerly awaiting the game, hoping to avenge the 2017 Champions League tie that ended with a 6-5 aggregate victory for Barcelona, led by an unstoppable MSN trio in the second leg.
On that occasion, the tie started similarly at PSG's home ground and culminated in a 4-0 victory for the Ligue 1 side, seemingly setting the tone for the series. However, at Camp Nou, Barcelona managed to prevail with a 6-1 victory in a game filled with controversy.
Currently, the only member of the PSG squad who experienced the historic comeback and remains at the club is Marquinhos, who currently serves as a central defender and captain.
