Xavi tipped to go on the attack with Barcelona against PSG in the Champions League

Barcelona coach Xavi is being tipped to go with a “brave” starting XI in the first leg of his team’s Champions League quarter-final clash with PSG on Wednesday.

Diario Sport are reporting that Xavi has decided to go with a “fully offensive line-up” for the match at the Parc des Princes.

The Barca boss will go with Raphinha on the left of the attack, Lamine Yamal on the opposite flank and Robert Lewandowski in his usual role in the centre.

Xavi also plans to use Ilkay Gundogan in a more advanced position with Andreas Christensen and Sergi Roberto playing behind the German in midfield.
