Barcelona is preparing to face its counterpart, Paris Saint-Germain, next Tuesday in the return match in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.
It will be held at nine o’clock in the evening, Egypt time, and ten o’clock in the evening, Saudi Arabia time. The first leg ended yesterday with Barcelona’s victory by three goals to two at the Parc des Princes Stadium in France.
Press reports stated that there is a high possibility for Xavi to bring in the young Barcelona star, Fermin Lopez, in the place of the absent player due to the accumulation of warnings for Danish Christensen, as Xavi trusts the player before the return match against Paris Saint-Germain because of his exceptional abilities.
Reports indicated that Fermin’s youth and great vitality, in addition to his defensive skills, make him a strong candidate to participate in the match in the focal point in the midfield alongside Frenkie de Jong and German Gundogan.
Despite his limited participation with Barcelona, he may be a surprise to his coach Xavi in this match.
The Blaugrana hopes to confirm the victory in the comeback and snatch the ticket to qualify for the semi-finals after the amazing performance that the team presented in the first leg yesterday.
