Make PSG feel the pressure from the first minute to the last

Ronald Koeman must ensure that his squad takes the game to PSG from the get-go. They must keep hold of the possession for as long as possible while pressing heavily when defending to ensure the French side gets as little time on the ball as possible.

A consistent pressure will force PSG to make mistakes allowing our players a chance to capitalize. The squad have already shown they are capable of doing this with the Sevilla match being a great example where Barca were seen giving it their all until they took the lead with Martin Braithwaite‘s header.

However, they did stop putting pressure on Sevilla the minute they took the lead which allowed the La Liga side to have multiple shots before the final whistle. Barca must ensure not to make the same mistake against the French giants as the presence of Kylian Mbappe and co. will be a lot more lethal than the attackers of Sevilla.
