PSG vs BAR Dream11: Barcelona will be hoping to overturn a massive first leg deficit when they face PSG at Parc des Princes in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 on Wednesday. PSG endured a roller-coaster of a group stage campaign after losing two of their first three games. Les Parisiens, though, won their subsequent three games to nail down top spot in Group H. Barcelona need a miracle in Paris if they are to advance in the Champions League after losing 1-4 to PSG in their first leg clash at Camp Nou. Ronald Koeman’s men are in good form domestically, winning their last four games in all competitions without conceding a goal.
