FC Barcelona’s journey in this UEFA Champions League has been a roller coaster ride. They won four games but also lost two in the group stage. Later, things looked hard when they were drawn against the defending Serie A champions. But they defeated Napoli in the round of 16 and sealed their place in the quarterfinals. They will now face PSG in the quarterfinals, and Robert Lewandowski is heads-up on them playing in the semifinals.
FC Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski said:
“I am sure we will play better than in the two games against Napoli, and we will play in the semifinals!”
If FC Barcelona defeats PSG in the quarterfinals, they have better chances of playing in the finals. Because their possible match-ups in the semifinals will either be Atletico Madrid or Borussia Dortmund.
They have a good record against both clubs and have higher chances of competing in the finals. But the question is, will Barcelona defeat PSG? Let us know your views in the comment section.
