Injuries and Suspensions
Paris Saint-Germain host Barcelona at the Parc des Princes on Tuesday, October 20, in the UEFA Champions League league phase, with both sides arriving in Paris having won their last five matches across all competitions.
Luis Enrique's side head into the fixture as the reigning European champions, having beaten Arsenal on penalties in the 2026 final in Budapest. They have opened their title defence with back-to-back wins, routing Slovan Bratislava 6-1 at home before claiming a 4-2 victory at Manchester City.
PSG did face a sterner test at the weekend, grinding out a win at Strasbourg in Ligue 1, though defender Illia Zabarnyi dismissed suggestions that the result reflected poorly on the French top flight. The result kept PSG's domestic record perfect.
Barcelona arrive with momentum of their own. Hansi Flick's side thrashed Real Betis 5-2 in La Liga on Saturday, with Dani Olmo ending a scoring drought and sending a confident message to the clubs standing between Barcelona and another major trophy.
The injury situation, though, is a concern for both camps. PSG confirmed that Nuno Mendes will miss the fixture with a thigh problem, while Barcelona face a defensive crisis of their own, with Eric Garcia ruled out and Jules Kounde emerging as a significant doubt.
With both clubs sitting at the top of the Champions League standings and a place in the upper reaches of the league phase table at stake, Tuesday's match at the Parc des Princes carries real weight. Read on for everything you need to know about how to watch the game live.

PSG sit first and Barcelona second in the Champions League standings, meaning both clubs are among the leading sides in the league phase and a win for either would strengthen their position at the top of the table.
