Defensive midfielder – Sergio Busquets

Another Barcelona veteran and another constant for Ronald Koeman, Sergio Busquets, can be definitely expected to be seen on the field against PSG. The Barcelona legend has a ton of experience and was one of the best defensive midfielders of all time. Although he is past his prime and can no longer perform like he did in his youthful years, he is still a very reliable player and will surely burden the PSG forwards. He has already made 30 appearances this season and will surely feature in the match.

Left Midfielder – Pedri

One of the youngest players Barcelona has at the moment is Pedri. The Spanish midfielder has been very productive this season. He plays with pure passion and his dedication and commitment has been recognized by Koeman. The 18-year-old has already made 22 league appearances and there is a very good possibility that the Dutch manager will give the youngster the biggest opportunity of his career yet. Should Pedri impress against the French powerhouse, he will definitely cement himself in the Barcelona midfield.

Right Midfielder – Frenkie de Jong

Frenkie de Jong will most likely be taking back his position in the midfield after playing his last match as a centre-back. The Dutch midfielder has been instrumental in Koeman’s first season with the Catalans and the coach has changed de Jong’s playing style. He has been given more freedom and thus he attacks more and is more fluid with the ball. He has also played a few matches as a center-back which just shows the amount of trust Koeman has in the 23-year-old.
