Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona meet again in the Champions League with a place in the semi-finals on the line. After a thrilling start to the quarter-final first legs on Tuesday night across both London and Madrid, an opportunity awaits those in action tonight with one of PSG, Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund or Atletico Madrid guaranteed to make the Wembley final.
PSG and Barcelona are regular foes in this competition, most memorably in 2017, when the Catalan club produced an extraordinary second leg comeback at the Nou Camp. But Barcelona have now gone nine years since they last reached the Champions League final.
Meanwhile PSG, now managed by former Barca boss Luis Enrique, have still yet to end their quest for European glory as Kylian Mbappe leads French club’s bid to win the tournament for the first time.

PSG 0-0 Barcelona, 27 minutes
Ousmane Dembele tries to connect with Kylian Mbappe, pulling out to the edge of the area and in fine shooting position, but Sergi Roberto nips in to deny the French forward the opportunity.

Top save! No-one is helping Gianluigi Donnarumma out here, the Italian sprawling to his left to tip Raphinha’s scudding shot past the post.

Off the line! Gianluigi Donnarumma charges out to try and punch the set piece, but doesn’t get there, leaving him rather grateful for the fast-thinking Nuno Mendes, who scrambles back to hook Robert Lewandowski’s looping header away.

Lovely feet from Nuno Mendes, almost apparating through Jules Kounde. Ronald Araujo steps across to block Mendes’ drive.
That’s good from Barcelona, too. A nice passing move creates a bit of open space for Raphinha to run into, Marquinhos closing down his compatriot and blockingn behind.

Ousmane Dembele’s speculative shot deflects away for a third PSG corner of these opening skirmishes. Marc-Andre ter Stegen claims in relative comfort.

PSG 0-0 Barcelona, 13 minutes
Barcelona aren’t happy as Lucas Beraldo dives into a tackle on Raphinha that leaves the Brazilian down in some discomfort. Anthony Taylor waves play on, and Beraldo is perhaps lucky not to be booked, the defender late and lunging from behind.

Marco Asensio rolls the ball inside and hits with his left boot, a familiar curve on his effort as he cuts in. But he starts it too close to Marc-Andre ter Stegen, who pats it down and gathers on the hop.

PSG 0-0 Barcelona, 9 minutes
There’s real zip and ambition to this game so far. Barcelona’s high line is breached by Ousmane Dembele, who rattles a cross against a pair of retreating legs to win another corner.

A huge chance for Raphina but Gianluigi Donnarumma denies him! Route one football from Barcelona, a straight forward hoist left alone by Robert Lewandowski to ensure that his Brazilian teammate can charge on to it. Raphina gets to the bouncing ball first but can’t progress beyond a sliding Donnarumma, who’d have been kippered if not for a vital touch on the ball. His defenders help the PSG goalkeeper out to complete the defensive job.

Nuno Mendes twists and turns beyond Lamine Yamal, firing a ball in to Kylian Mbappe, who improvises a volleyed finish. No dice – a few yards wide of Marc-Andre ter Stegen’s left post.
