Rivals to Face Off at Parc des Princes
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and FC Barcelona will reignite their intense rivalry when they clash in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals. The first leg of this highly anticipated tie will be played at the Parc des Princes in Paris on April 10, 2024.
The two sides have a long history in this competition, having met on several occasions. In their most recent encounter in the Champions League, PSG emerged victorious in their last-16 tie three years ago, winning 5-2 on aggregate. Kylian Mbappé stole the show in that match, scoring a hat-trick.
PSG will be looking to build on their impressive form in this season's Champions League. They topped their group, finishing ahead of Benfica, Juventus, and Maccabi Haifa. In the last 16, they dispatched Bayern Munich in a thrilling encounter that saw them score a last-minute winner.

The match promises to be a fascinating tactical battle between two of Europe's top managers. Christophe Galtier will be looking to exploit PSG's attacking prowess, while Xavi will be aiming to implement his trademark possession-based style.
