The Spanish giants trail the French champions by a single point ahead of their show down at Camp Nou. Both the teams have qualified for the next round but will continue to vie for the top spot. A draw will be enough for the Parisiens to seal the top spot but Barcelona will have to record a victory if they are to leapfrog their counterparts on Wednesday.
Barcelona will be in buoyant mood ahead of the fixture having recorded victories in their last seven matches in all competitions. However they must be vary of a PSG side which finished the game with all three points when the two sides met in the reverse fixture.
As opposed to last time, PSG will be able to use the services of Swedish star Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Barcelona head coach Luis Enrique has identified him as being the key man for PSG.
"PSG beat us without Ibra. They are a potent side and with Ibra back fit, they will be even more dangerous," he said.
"We made mistakes over there – like we have done in other games but in Paris we were punished. We’re talking about one of the top players, a high-level footballer who is very difficult to stop."
"If we are able to defend as a unit and make sure very few balls get to him, that’s the only way we can reduce his chances of hurting us."
"I’m expecting a similar game to the one we saw in France. We need to control play and maintain pressure higher up the pitch – something we didn’t do over there.
"I think Cavani and Ibra will start. We want to avoid being caught on the break and to do that we need equilibrium. Theory is all well and good but it’s completely different when you put it into practice. We need to be careful when PSG attack."
PSG on the other hand continued their impressive start to the 2014-15season by picking a 2-1 win over Nantes. The defending French champions have been unbeaten in all competitions this seas having won 15 and drawn eight of their remaining matches.
However their streak will be in extreme jeopardy when they go against a Barcelona side which has been on a very impressive run. Lionel Messi in particular has bene hugely impressive even by his own standards.
The Argentine international has scored a hat-trick in three of his last four appearances for Barcelona including one against Espanyol last time out as the Catalans picked a 5-1 win over their neighbours.
