FC Barcelona v PSG preview: Who will clinch top spot in Group F?

Team news, match facts and manager quotes for the Champions League Group F match between Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain.
Defending as a unit will be the key to stopping Paris St Germain talisman Zlatan Ibrahimovic in Wednesday's Champions League Group F showdown, Barcelona coach Luis Enrique said on Tuesday. Barca and PSG are already through to the last 16 and the French side need only a draw to secure top spot and avoid a fellow group winner in Monday's draw for the knockout round. With one match to play, PSG lead on 13 points thanks to their 3-2 victory against Barca in Paris in September. Barca have 12 in second, with Ajax Amsterdam on two points and APOEL Nicosia on one. TEAM NEWS Barca will be without suspended Brazil right back Daniel Alves but Luis Enrique refused to be drawn on who might replace him in the starting line-up. Adriano is the obvious choice, or Martin Montoya, although the latter has barely featured this term. PSG boss Laurent Blanc has an almost fully-fit squad to pick from. Jean-Christophe Bahebeck is the only absentee with a thigh injury.

                                                             MANAGER QUOTES Luis Enrique: "Our aim is clear – we want to win and PSG want the same. They are one of the contenders to win the competition and it'll be a demanding match, defensively speaking, for us. I would prefer to finish first in the group to gain a slight advantage in the next round. PSG beat us without [Zlatan] Ibrahimović. Their squad is strong enough not to depend on any particular player, but with Zlatan in their squad they are even more dangerous. We know our mistakes in Paris cost us dearly so we have to try not to do the same." Laurent Blanc: "The quality of our play is important but tomorrow we are up against one of the best teams in Europe. In the first leg we did well but they kept us pegged back in the second half. Barcelona are going to have 70 per cent possession; when we have the ball we have to score. MATCH STATS Barcelona will win their eighth Champions League group in a row if they defeat PSG at the Camp Nou. PSG finished first in their Champions League group in each of the last two seasons – their best run in the competition. They would improve their run this season with a draw. Barcelona vs PSG and Porto vs Shakhtar are the only two games this Matchday between two sides already qualified for the round of last 16. Barcelona (90.1%) and Paris Saint Germain (89.06%) are the two teams with the highest passing accuracy in the Champions League this season. Lionel Messi is the top scorer in Champions League history with 74 goals. Zlatan Ibrahimovic has not scored against his former club Barcelona at the Camp Nou in his two CL games there since leaving, but he has netted two goals in three home appearances against them. Barcelona have lost just one of their last 10 European games against French opposition (W5 D4), but that defeat came in their last meeting against PSG earlier this season (2-3). However, the Catalan side have never defeated PSG in the Champions League/European Cup (D3 L2). They did them in the 1997 Cup Winners’ Cup Final (1-0) though. In 156 European games between Spanish and French sides, the Spaniards have won 70 and have kept 53 clean sheets (D41 L45). None of the last 11 goals scored in CL games between Barcelona and PSG have come from outside the box.
