PSG registered a 4-1 win over FC Barcelona in their last meeting

Matchday two of the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League will take us to the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys Stadium, where FC Barcelona will host the defending champions, Paris Saint-Germain.  Barcelona’s resurgence under Hansi Flick has been incredible, and they are showing no signs of slowing down.

Paris Saint-Germain, on the other hand, are one of the favourites to win this competition and retain their title. Last season, under the tutelage of Luis Enrique, PSG had a historic campaign as they became one of the few teams to win the “Treble”.

FCB defeated Newcastle United, while PSG thrashed Atalanta on Matchday 1 of the UCL. This upcoming match will serve as a great test for both teams and will be an unmissable affair for the fans.

Players to watch out for:

Lamine Yamal (FC Barcelona)

The teenage sensation took the world by storm last season. He was dubbed the best player in the world by many despite his young age, as the winger was just unplayable at times. He will be donning the iconic number 10 jersey this season, and huge expectations will be on his shoulders. He has already registered two goals and three assists in the 2025-26 season so far.

Nuno Mendes (Paris Saint-Germain)

The Portuguese fullback showed great promise when he joined PSG. He has emerged as one of the best players in his position under Luis Enrique. He is a physical specimen who excels in offensive and defensive aspects of the game. Despite playing as a left back, he is a match-winner and can make a difference at any time.
