Barcelona vs Paris Saint-Germain live stream: How to watch Champions League fixture online and on TV tonight
Paris Saint-Germain travel to Barcelona tonight for the old foes’ Champions League last-16 first leg, with the French club out to make amends for their implosion against the La Liga outfit four seasons ago.
In that meeting, also in the last 16, PSG demolished Barcelona 4-0 in the first leg, but the Spanish side pulled off a stunning 6-1 win on home turf, three late goals in the second leg sealing their spot in the quarter-finals.
PSG, who lost the 2020 final to Bayern Munich, return to the site of their historic defeat by Barca this evening, seeking to take a step towards this season’s last eight.

Former Barca winger Neymar is absent for PSG with an adductor problem, which could also keep him out of the second leg, while another wide option in Angel Di Maria picked up a thigh issue recently. Marco Verratti could miss out due to a knock, and former Barca man Rafinha is suffering from a muscle injury that may prove too much to overcome. Pochettino is also without defenders Colin Dagba, Timothee Pembele and Juan Bernat.
