Luis Enrique has already named his squad for the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final. There are still more than 24 hours to go, but his expedition has to travel to Spain and travel to Barcelona for a match in which they have to come back from a 2-3 defeat at the Parc des Princes. There are only two new additions to the squad compared to that game and they are the return of Achraf Hakimi and Nordi Mukiele. The latter was injured.
The full-back was suspended for accumulation of yellow cards. In Europe's top competition, the limit is three and is already cleared in the semi-finals, so it was his turn to be left out after being cautioned against Real Sociedad at Anoeta - round of 16 - and against both Milan and Newcastle - group stage. His coach would have been better suited to a degree of caution in San Sebastian to use him for Barcelona's visit.
On the trip to Catalonia, in any case, he will be accompanied by Keylor Navas, Ugarte, Marquinhos, Mbappe, Fabian, Goncalo Ramos, Dembele, Asensio, Danilo, Vitinha, Kang-In Lee, Lucas Hernández, Kolo Muani, Nuno Mendes, Mukiele, Carlos Soler, Barcola, Zaire-Emery, Beraldo, Skriniar, Arnau Tenas and Donnarumma. The most prominent names, the ones called to make the difference, are some like Mbappe or Dembele.
There are many unknowns about the line-up that PSG will field in their second match against Barcelona. The first was the prelude to a defeat in which Xavi Hernandez contrasted with his counterpart and former teammate. It was a statement with the announcement of his departure on 30th June already formalised and, in fact, more in doubt than ever because president Joan Laporta is happy with him and would like him to continue.
