FC Barcelona is excited for the upcoming Champions League quarter-final against Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes. However, the team needs to be careful as they also have to think about the return match in Montjuïc. Several players are at risk of facing sanctions in this top continental competition.
The defenders Ronald Araujo and Andreas Christensen, midfielders Sergi Roberto and Frenkie de Jong, and forwards Robert Lewandowski, Lamine Yamal, Ferran Torres, and Joao Félix are all on the brink of suspension. If any of them receive a yellow card in Paris, they won’t be able to play in the return leg of the quarter-finals. These potential absences would be significant for Xavi as he aims for the semifinals.
Hakimi, a key absence for PSG
One player who will definitely miss the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals is the Moroccan Achraf Hakimi, who is suspended due to yellow card accumulation. PSG also has defenders Lucas Hernández and Milan Skriniar, as well as midfielder Manuel Ugarte, who are all on thin ice.
