Yamal, Olmo and Cubarsí to Start | Barcelona’s Predicted 4-2-3-1 Lineup vs Paris Saint-Germain
Barcelona return to Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys on Wednesday night for a mouth-watering Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain. Fresh off a 2-1 win over Real Sociedad, Hansi Flick’s side will enter the game with momentum and belief as they aim to establish an advantage at home.
Flick is expected to stay loyal to his trusted 4-2-3-1 shape but could tweak his lineup. Rising star Lamine Yamal, summer arrival Dani Olmo, and young defender Pau Cubarsí are all tipped to start this high-stakes encounter.
Predicted Barcelona Lineup (4-2-3-1) vs PSG
Defence
Wojciech Szczęsny should keep his place between the posts after conceding just once against Sociedad. In central defence, Pau Cubarsí is likely to partner Ronald Araújo, forming a mix of youthful composure and physical presence at the back.
Jules Koundé looks set to lock down the right flank, while Gerard Martin is expected to feature on the opposite side. Both full-backs will have to balance their defensive duties with the occasional surge forward.
Andreas Christensen and Eric García will provide depth from the bench.
Midfield
In midfield, Frenkie de Jong and Pedri will operate as the double pivot, tasked with dictating tempo and disrupting PSG’s flow.
Ahead of them, Marcus Rashford, Dani Olmo, and Lamine Yamal will form a fluid attacking trio. Their creativity, pace, and movement could be key in stretching PSG’s backline and creating openings.
Marc Casadó, Roony Bardghji, and Dro Fernandez are likely to be named among the substitutes, offering Flick fresh legs and versatility later in the game.
Attack
Up top, Robert Lewandowski will spearhead the attack. The veteran striker found the net against Sociedad, and his experience in big European nights could prove decisive once again.
Ferran Torres will most likely start on the bench but remains an option to inject energy and a goal threat if Barcelona need a spark in the closing stages.
