The 2025-26 UEFA Champions League brings together two of global soccer’s biggest clubs, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain, together for a high-profile match on Wednesday.
Two weeks ago, both sides opened their respective Champions League campaigns with a win. PSG steamrolled Italian side Atalanta, 4-0, throwing down the gauntlet to the rest of Europe’s top sides. Barcelona, meanwhile, got a 2-1 away win over Newcastle United thanks to two goals from England forward Marcus Rashford.
PSG enters this match sitting atop the Ligue 1 table, having won five of their first six games, but injuries have complicated the picture for manager Luis Enrique (who appeared over 200 times for Barça as a player, and managed the club from 2014-17). Starting forwards Ousmane Dembélé, Désiré Doué, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia have all been ruled out, along with center back and captain Marquinhos.
The issue is nearly as bad for Barcelona boss Hansi Flick, who will have to make due without starting goalkeeper Joan García and midfielders Gavi and Fermín López. The club’s issues completing construction at their home stadium, Camp Nou, have necessitated that this match be played at Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys.
