Barcelona began on Wednesday their preparations for the monster Champions League quarter-final first leg against Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes in the French capital, and manager Xavi Hernández is already pretty much certain about which 11 players will start in next Wednesday’s clash.
That’s according to Mundo Deportivo, who report that the coach has already decided to repeat the same team that started the Round of 16 second leg against Napoli, with Marc-André ter Stegen in goal, a back four of Jules Kounde, Ronald Araujo, Pau Cubarsí and João Cancelo, Andreas Christensen as the midfield pivot alongside Ilkay Gündogan, and a front three of Lamine Yamal on the right, Raphinha on the left and Robert Lewandowski up front.
