Koeman relies on Messi Magic in Paris.

Barcelona has been knocked out of the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League after losing 4-1 to PSG at home to Camp Nou. However, history shows that Lionel Messi refused to accept the rate until the last whistle. That is why in such a situation, before hosting PSG in the second leg, the place of reliance of Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman is on that Lionel Messi magic.

PSG will host Barcelona at Park Day Prince. PSG is guaranteed a ticket to the quarter-finals even though they lost 3-0. However, if the gap is 4-0, Barcelona will take place in the quarter by winning 5-4 with two legs. In the past, Barcelona did this against this PSG. After winning 4-0 at PSG in 2016, Barcelona won 6-1 at home in the second leg. However, Neymar Jr., the hero of the service win, is playing for PSG this time.

However, the news of relief for Barcelona, Neymar did not fully recover. So, like the first leg, he is not going to play in the second leg. That’s why the fans are not seeing the duality of Neymar vs Messi.

Before taking to the field in Paris, Barcelona coach Koeman expressed great optimism. “If Leo can play his best game, then everything is possible,” he said. He alone can create the destiny of any duality.

PSG manager Mauricio Pachettino, on the other hand, said of not getting Neymar, “It’s not a decision that we made. This is the real situation. Neymar is not fit to play in this match yet. He worked hard for the team so that he could return to the field quickly. Our medical team did not make a mistake in trying. But it did not happen. We are sorry because everyone wanted Neymar to play. ‘

Neymar won Barcelona in 2016 alone. And at the end of that season, the star left Barcelona for the world record amount of money and signed for PSG. Admitting that Neymar has a different feeling for Barcelona in his heart, PSG boss Mauricio Pachettino said: “This match could have been a special feeling for him. So must have wanted to play. But it was stuck for a few days.

Meanwhile, Koeman hopes that there is still 90 minutes left in the game. ‘Messi has to play his best game. But he is not alone; everyone on the team has to play great. Some luck will also be needed. We have to create opportunities and make sure that we can be terrifying in front of the opposing box, ”added Koman.

Even without Neymar, Killian Mbabane, who scored a hat-trick in the first leg at New Camp, is in a very cheerful mood. The goal of MBAP, which is in great form, will be to ensure a quarter-final by winning the day.

Liverpool will host Leipzig at Anfield at the same time. The All Reds are leading with a 2-0 win in the first leg.
