Paris Saint-Germain will meet Barcelona on Tuesday, Oct. 20 at 3 p.m. ET at Parc des Princes in Paris. The match will stream live on Paramount+.
PSG enters as back-to-back Champions League winners. Ousmane Dembele and Desire Doue both scored in a 4-2 victory at Manchester City last week. Ferran Torres leads the club's scoring charts in Ligue 1. Midfielder Vitinha said "all the ingredients are in place for this to be one of the great games." Luis Enrique, PSG manager, believes controlling possession against Barcelona is key to limiting Lamine Yamal.
Barcelona arrives after a 5-2 win over Real Betis on Saturday, with Yamal scoring. The 19-year-old has 9 goals and 10 assists across all competitions this season. Barcelona is averaging 4.3 goals from 3.7 expected goals per game in LaLiga this season, up from 2.5 goals from 2.3 xG last campaign. Manager Hansi Flick, who has won two domestic titles in two seasons, called PSG the best team in the world. Midfielder Pedri said he imagines a beautiful battle in midfield. Barcelona also signed Rodri, a World Cup winner, Ballon d'Or winner and World Cup Golden Ball recipient. Barcelona fell to Inter 7-6 on aggregate in the 2024-25 semifinals.
Odds list PSG at +145, Barcelona at +140 and a draw at +350.
