Barcelona's €80 million star set for starting role against PSG

Barcelona continued their winning streak with a crucial 1-0 victory over Cadiz in La Liga, setting the stage for their upcoming rematch against PSG in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals.

After their remarkable comeback against PSG in France, Barcelona's manager Xavi made strategic changes to the lineup against Cadiz, hinting at his plans for the PSG clash.

One key change could see young midfield sensation Pedri starting against PSG. Pedri recently returned from injury, featuring as a substitute against PSG and Cadiz. His inclusion is anticipated due to the absence of Andreas Christensen and Sergi Roberto, who are suspended for the match.

In midfield, Ilkay Gundogan and Frenkie de Jong are expected to feature alongside Pedri. Additionally, Ronald Araujo will return to partner Pau Cubarsi in defense, with Joao Cancelo and Jules Kounde likely occupying the full-back positions.

Upfront, Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, and Robert Lewandowski are poised to form Barcelona's attacking trio against PSG, replacing Ferran Torres, Vitor Roque, and Joao Felix from the Cadiz match.

Barcelona's fans await an exciting showdown at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys, hoping their team can replicate their recent successes and advance to the Champions League semifinals.
