)

According to L’Equipe, Vitinha was unable to finish PSG’s training session, leaving some uncertainty over his availability to start against Barcelona.

Meanwhile, Barcelona will count on their midfield, with manager Hansi Flick indirectly warning PSG that Pedri and Frenkie de Jong will be central to his plans.

“They are exceptional footballers and are very well connected,” Flick said (h/t Marca). “They know how they want to play, they know each other… it’s fantastic to see this connection. With this duo, it’s harder to press us, and it gives us a lot of possession, creates more space, and that’s the most important thing. I’m very proud of the team.”
