Betting Preview
Barcelona last lifted the Champions League trophy more than a decade ago under Luis Enrique, now PSG’s coach, and Hansi Flick’s side have started this season with intent. Even without Lamine Yamal, Barça edged Newcastle at St James’ Park thanks to a Marcus Rashford brace, one of five straight wins that have taken them back to the top of La Liga. Flick’s champions are averaging three goals per game domestically and have scored at least three in six of their last seven UCL home matches.

PSG, the defending champions, began their title defence in ruthless fashion with a 4-0 win over Atalanta, following last season’s 5-0 demolition of Inter in the final. Goals came from Marquinhos, Kvaratskhelia, Nuno Mendes and Gonçalo Ramos, but consistency remains a question after a derby defeat to Marseille.
These two clubs remain forever linked by the 2017 “Remontada,” yet recent history favours PSG, who have beaten Barcelona 4-1 at the Camp Nou in both 2021 and 2024. A third straight away victory in Catalonia would set a new European record and underline PSG’s dominance in this rivalry.
