PSG lost 3-2 to Barcelona at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday. The Parisians must win in Barcelona this Tuesday to reach the semi-final.
UEFA has abandoned the away goals rule for all of its competitions. PSG have never qualified for the European Cup after a home defeat in the first leg. In six matches played in Barcelona, the Parisians have only won once against their Catalan opponent. But this occurrence happens to be the latest: 4-1 round of 16 second leg on February 16, 2021 (1-1 first leg at Parc), thanks to a hat-trick from Kylian Mbappé which remained famous. If the two teams have not decided after the 120 regulation minutes, then the decision will be based on a penalty shootout. If PSG win by two goals or more, 2-0, 3-1, 30, etc., will seal Parisian qualification. The winner will face the winner of the quarter-final Dortmund - Atlético de Madrid. The 4th time this has happened after 1995, 2020 and 2021.
