The second leg of the Barcelona vs. PSG match promises to be exciting, full of goals, and tactically brilliant if the first leg is any indication. With the exception of a five-minute distraction, the Catalan defense made the most of the match and prevailed 2-3 at the Parc des Princes. The game’s main talking point was Kylian Mbappe’s performance, aside from Raphinha’s brace.

For ninety minutes, Ronald Araujo and Jules Kounde prevented the Frenchman from scoring any goals and from creating any significant opportunities. However, the task in the return fixture will be far more difficult.

Le Parisien reports that Mbappe is dissatisfied with his performance in the first leg. Due to his recent unhappiness with personal issues, Lucho decided to substitute him out against Marseille.

The Frenchman is now seeking retribution as a result. For the second leg, he is very motivated and feels he can reverse the tide and shift the gap in Paris’s favor.

This season, Mbappe has scored an incredible quantity of goals—six in the Champions League and twenty-four in Ligue 1. Among the few teams to silence him during the match was Barcelona, notably with their constant adherence to Kounde.

Not all PSG players are as confident as Mbappe is going into this match. During his pre-match press conference, Luis Enrique expressed motivation for his players to pull off an upset in the Catalan city.

“We wish to give back all of the assistance we were given at Parc des Princes. Tomorrow will be the day for PSG to break the stalemate, according to Lucho.

Since Xavi emerged as the more tactically competent manager in the first leg, a lot will depend on how he handles Enrique’s strategies in this match.
