Barcelona FC enter the second leg of their UEFA Champions League clash with Paris Saint-Germain at Camp Nou looking to cruise into yet another semi-final. Join The Roar for live scores from 4:45am (AEST).
After a successful trip to Parc des Princes last week, Barcelona enter the home leg of this quarter final tie with a commanding lead against their French-based opponents.
Two second half goals (coming within 12 minutes of each other) to Luis Suarez led the Spanish giants to a commanding 3-0 scoreline late in the opening leg, before a late slip saw the game finish at 3-1.
Could that late slip from Jérémy Mathieu prove costly? We’ll find out today.
They will take some heart from the fact they hit the scoreboard last week, meaning there is some small room for error in their quest to cause a shock upset in Spain.
Regardless, it is a big mountain for PSG to climb.
Coming up against the class of Neymar, the form of Suarez and a Lionel Messi that just surpassed the 400-goal mark for the club, denying the home side scoreboard action, while finding it themselves will be a huge task for PSG.
Can the Parisians swoop in and cause the upset of the competition? Or will Barcelona take another step down the well-trodden path towards Champions League glory?

The best midfielder in the world since Zidane, maybe even better then Zidane, never got as much credit as he deserved, maybe because of the feats of Ronaldo & Messi. I rate Iniesta very highly & this late in his career, he was even better 4-5 years ago.
