Hello everybody and welcome to this MARCA in English live blog for the Champions League League Phase fixture of Barcelona vs PSG. A blockbuster Champions League encounter takes centre stage at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys this evening, as Barcelona welcome titleholders Paris Saint-Germain in a contest with the weight and narrative of a knockout tie. Both sides began their European campaigns in dominant fashion. Barcelona, under new head coach Hansi Flick, claimed a significant away victory over Newcastle United on matchday one -- with Manchester United loanee Marcus Rashford netting twice -- while PSG produced a commanding 4-0 win over Atalanta, with four different players on the scoresheet. Domestically, momentum is building for Barcelona. The La Liga champions have returned to the top of the Spanish table following a string of five consecutive wins, during which they have averaged three goals per game. Their Champions League form at home has been equally prolific -- six of their last seven matches at this level in Catalonia have seen them score at least three times. PSG arrive in less consistent form, having suffered a 1-0 defeat to Marseille in Le Classique after their European opener, though they responded with a 2-0 victory over Auxerre last weekend. Luis Enrique's side are seeking to become the first team to win three consecutive away games against Barcelona in European competition, following emphatic 4-1 victories in both 2021 and 2024.
