Former Coach Vs. Current Coach of Barca:
Luis Enrique has gradually won over supporters and the French media at PSG after a challenging beginning to his coaching career in which he had to endure Mbappe’s nasty contract crisis, even if it meant benching or substituting Mbappe during games.
With Lionel Messi on his squad in 2015, Enrique won the triple crown as Barcelona’s coach. With Mbappe at PSG, he is still a contender to do the same.
After falling short on the road against AC Milan in November during the Champions League group stage, PSG had gone 27 games without a loss. However, facing a rested Barcelona team might be the season’s most difficult test.
On the other side, since Xavi announced in late January that he was forgoing the final year of his contract, Barcelona has won 11 of their last 16 games.
Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski, and young sensation Lamine Yamal have all been performing well lately, but the midfield is rather uncertain because of injury issues.
