Latest Barcelona vs PSG squad information
Lamine Yamal returned to the Barca squad last weekend and immediately made his mark with an assist for Lewandowski to seal victory over Real Sociedad. The young international is almost certain to start against PSG.
However, Barca lost five key players at the same time: Ter Stegen (back), Gavi (knee), Joan Garcia (knee), Fermin Lopez (back) and Raphinha (hamstring). Raphinha's absence opens up the opportunity for Rashford to continue to hold his position in the attack.
Flick is encouraged by the prospect of Alejandro Balde returning from a hamstring injury, but Gerard Martin is likely to be retained in the back four, with Szczesny starting in place of Ter Stegen and Garcia.
Meanwhile, PSG continue to be without Ousmane Dembele – the owner of the Golden Ball – due to a hamstring injury, expected to return only at the end of October. He, along with teammates Desire Doue (calf), Joao Neves (hamstring), Fabian Ruiz (muscle) and captain Marquinhos (thigh) are all on the sidelines.
To make matters worse, both Vitinha and Kvaratskhelia picked up injuries in the win over Auxerre. Kvaratskhelia is feared to have a serious hamstring problem, while Vitinha is expected to recover in time, according to Le Parisien.

Latest football commentary on Barcelona vs PSG
It has been more than a decade since Barcelona last conquered Europe under coach Enrique, and now the moment for them to lift the Champions League trophy once again seems to have arrived. Hansi Flick's La Liga champions started their conquest with a comprehensive victory.
Lamine Yamal was not a problem either, as Marcus Rashford – on loan from Manchester United – scored twice on English soil to help Barca beat Newcastle, making Anthony Gordon's late goal meaningless.
The win at St James' Park was Barcelona's second in five consecutive games, having previously beaten Getafe, Real Oviedo and most recently Real Sociedad, returning them to the top of La Liga.
Taking advantage of Real Madrid's shock 2-5 loss to Atletico in the derby, Flick's team took a one-point advantage and controlled their destiny in the domestic league, where they are maintaining an average scoring performance of three goals per game.
Barca have also been prolific in the Champions League, scoring at least three goals in six of their last seven home games in the competition, taking their tally to a whopping 75 goals in 17 games at Camp Nou.
Defending champions PSG also started the new campaign in impressive fashion. A few months after destroying Inter Milan 5-0 in the final, Luis Enrique's side thrashed Atalanta 4-0, with four different players scoring: Marquinhos, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Nuno Mendes and Goncalo Ramos.
If they beat Barca at Camp Nou, PSG would have achieved an unprecedented feat: three consecutive wins in the Champions League by a margin of four goals or more. However, this goal became more distant after they just lost 0-1 to Marseille in Le Classique, although they managed to get back on track with a 2-0 win over Auxerre.
When talking about Barcelona and PSG, we cannot ignore the classic “Remontada” in 2017. However, in recent encounters, PSG has dominated, beating Barca 4-1 at Camp Nou in both 2021 and 2024. If they continue to repeat this achievement, PSG will become the first team in European history to beat Barca three consecutive times away from home.
