Paris St-Germain manager Luis Enrique believes his side are in a great position to overcome their first-leg deficit against Barcelona and reach the Champions League semi-finals.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

PSG, who <\/span>lost 3-2 to Barcelona in Paris last Wednesday<\/span>, were last in the semi-finals three years ago.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cPSG have never come back to win after losing a first leg, but [Tuesday] is the day,\u201d said Luis Enrique.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a very united group of players, in which there are no egos.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Enrique won the Treble in 2014-15, one of his three seasons as Barcelona manager.<\/span><\/p>\n

He was also in charge when the Spanish champions beat PSG 6-1 to overturn a 4-0 first-leg defeat in the last 16 in 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n

Five-time winners Barcelona are aiming to reach the Champions League semi-finals for the first time in five years.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not a team that will sit on our lead, we want to take the ball off PSG and win the game,\u201d said manager Xavi.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the Champions League, it\u2019s Paris, and a game in which no one will be holding back.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Barcelona will be without Andreas Christensen and Sergio Roberto who are both suspended.<\/span><\/p>\n

PSG right-back Achraf Hakimi could return after being suspended from the first leg.<\/span><\/p>\n
