Barcelona hit five, the best way to prepare for the PSG clash in the Champions League. The hour of truth in Europe is here and the objective is to try and take a lead to Paris. Barca have to take advantage of their form, seven consecutive league wins, and Neymar and Di Maria’s absences. Their pace would be a big threat to Barca’s defence. Without them, it looks better for Koeman. Later we’ll worry about the second leg.
Barca, despite their absences, have the confidence to do something big. Koeman picked a line up against Alaves with an eye on the PSG game.
Abelardo’s side played with little intensity so that was good news for Barca. Pedri came on and finished the game off with three goals in half an hour after his appearance. He’s so important already.
