Paris Saint-Germain host Barcelona at the Parc des Princes on Tuesday in the third round of the Champions League league phase, with kickoff at 3 p.m. ET. Both have six points from two games: PSG beat Slovan Bratislava 6–1 and won 4–2 at Manchester City, and Barcelona beat Feyenoord 5–1 and won 4–1 at Galatasaray, per Sports Mole.
Hansi Flick's side have won all 11 games this season in all competitions, most recently 5–2 at Real Betis. Sports Mole reports Andreas Christensen and Roony Bardghji are out, with Jules Koundé and Eric GarcÃa injured against Betis; previews disagree on whether Koundé can start.
PSG are without left back Nuno Mendes, who has a thigh injury expected to keep him out for several weeks. In their last two meetings, PSG won 2–1 at Barcelona in last season's league phase, and won 4–1 in Barcelona in the second leg of the 2024 quarterfinal after losing the first leg 3–2 at home.
