Stop Kylian Mbappe as a Team

It is no doubt that Mbappe is the biggest threat on Mauricio Pochettino’s Paris Saint-Germain side. The World Cup winner already scored a hattrick against the Catalans this season and while the new formation should help make it difficult for the Frenchmen, Barca must defend against him as a unit.

The first-leg saw youngster Sergino Dest face Mbappe alone with Ousmane Dembele failing to support him. Koeman must ensure not to make the same mistake twice and have two players shut Mbappe down for the night.

With both Gerard Pique and Ronald Araujo set to miss the clash, it falls on Samuel Umtiti, Clement Lenglet, and Oscar Mingueza to help Marc-Andre ter Stegen keep a clean sheet. Barca need a scoreline of 0-3 just to take it to extra time, where they must score another without conceding to keep their Champions League hopes alive.

Next. Koeman remains optimistic ahead of Barcelona-PSG clash. dark
