The 1-4 at the Camp Nou in the first leg of the Champions League transported many fans to the duel that the Barça team came back in the 2016-2017 edition against this same rival. By then, PSG reached the second leg of the round of 16 with a 4-0 lead and on the road. The final result was 6-1 in favor of Barcelona, a night marked by controversy after Luis Suárez's penalties and emotions on the pitch.

Culés fans dream of repeating history, but… which players could repeat the feat? Lionel Messi, the main actor. The Argentine converted one of the goals of the commitment. Amid the tension over his future, the Barcelona benchmark yearns to reverse the situation with a feat similar to that of four years ago. It should be remembered that as a determining variable, the first 4 goals were converted with the Culé team at home, which complicates the situation.

At that time the MSN (Messi, Suarez, Neymar) headed the offensive trident of Barcelona. This Tuesday only Messi will be on the court. Scenario that brings another variant for PSG because it is not the same either, Kyllian Mbappé the player who leads the team's forward this time. It should be remembered that Neymar was not in the first leg and was also ruled out for this match due to injury.

But continuing with Barcelona, there are still seven players from that historic team. The first, Ter Stegen, who continues giving the same assurances in the Cule´s goal. Despite the first leg result, is a fundamental piece. Piqué is still at Catalonia, and was part of the starting eleven of the first leg, but he will not be in the second leg due to a knee injury. Umtiti is another of the players of the epic night, but now he is not part of Koeman's alternatives. Jordi Alba, who, like the goalkeeper, continues to be fundamental in the team. Sergi Roberto, for his part, continues to defend the club's jersey today, and was the great hero of that day, scoring the qualifying goal on the last ball of the game. The list is completed by Sergio Busquets who is not part of the Dutchman's main scheme, but who as a team variant can contribute a lot of play on the field.
