Barcelona vs PSG kick-off time & stadium
Date: April 16, 2024
Kick-off time: 3 pm EST
Venue: Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys
The UEFA Champions League quarter-final match between Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain will be played at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys in Barcelona, Spain.
It will kick off at 3 pm EST on Tuesday, April 16, in the United States (US).
PSG will face off against Barcelona in the second leg of the Champions League Quarterfinal at 3:00 p.m. ET on April 16th at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys. The odds don't look promising for PSG but the bigger the opponent is, the harder they fall.
PSG has some ground to make up against Barcelona considering the result of their first leg on Wednesday. PSG fell just short of Barcelona by a score of 3-2. It was the first time in this tournament that PSG let down their fans at home.
PSG's defeat dropped their record down to 4-2-3. As for Barcelona, the win made it two in a row for them and bumps their tournament record up to 6-1-2.
PSG need Kylian Mbappe to step up in what could be his final European appearance for the club as they travel to face Barcelona tonight.
After losing 3-2 in Paris a week ago, PSG now head to Spain knowing they must overturn a first-leg deficit if they are to keep their hopes of a first Champions League title alive by reaching the semi-finals.
Mbappe will leave the club this summer and so this is his final shot at dragging them to European glory, but he could not get on the scoresheet in a thrilling encounter.
Instead it is Barcelona with the narrow aggregate lead, as they eye a first appearance in the Champions League last-four for five years.
Barcelona could reach their first UEFA Champions League semifinals since 2018-19 if they can see off Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday. The Catalan giants are in strong form since Xavi announced his decision to leave at the end of this season with a 13-game unbeaten run across all competitions which has included 10 wins.
Barca went out on the group stage in both 2022 and 2023 while the Blaugrana have also not gone further than the last eight since 2019 when Liverpool knocked them out in the semifinals. Back in 2015, Luis Enrique led Barca to the final where they beat Juventus to be crowned champions and their head-to-head record with PSG slightly favors them with six wins to the French giants' four.
Paris Saint-Germain started the first leg unbeaten in its previous 27 games in all competitions but was undone by a Barcelona side looking to return the club to the summit of European football after crashing out in the group stage two years in a row.
Raphinha scored twice and Andreas Christensen came off the bench to head in the winning goal as Barcelona won 3-2 away to Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg.
PSG was given the weekend off from Ligue 1 action to rest for the second leg, which is an advantage Luis Enrique thinks will help with applying an aggressive game plan.
Morocco full back Achraf Hakimi, who missed the first leg due to suspension, will be back in PSG’s squad.
Where to watch Barcelona vs PSG ... TV channel: The game will be broadcast on TNT Sports 1 and TNT Sports Ultimate. Coverage starts at 7pm BST.
