Paris Saint-Germain are set to host Barcelona in a highly anticipated UEFA Champions League clash at the Parc des Princes on Tuesday, October 20, 2026. The two teams will face off with the hope of maintaining their 100 percent start to life in the 2026/27 European competition. PSG started the 2026/27 season in a disappointing fashion having won just one of their first five matches.
However, Luis Enrique’s side have turned the tides by winning each of their last six games including a 3-1 away win against Strasbourg at the weekend which came right after a 4-2 victory over Manchester City in the Champions League at the Etihad. The Parisians raced through a three-goal lead in the first half courtesy of Desire Doue, Ousmane Dembele and Vitinha.
Erling Haaland pulled one back for City eight minutes into the second half, however, Maghnes Akliouche restored PSG’s three-goal advantage 10 minutes later. Haaland came through again for City in the 75th minute as they reduced the deficit by half, but were unfortunate on a couple of occasions as the game ended 4-2.
PSG now turn attention to Barcelona as they seek to take another step towards defending the trophy they won for the second successive time last campaign. Barcelona are the only side with a perfect record among clubs in Europe’s top five leagues having won all of their domestic and European matches.
Hansi Flick’s side are full of confidence going into this encounter having defeated Real Betis 5-2 over the weekend just after dispatching Galatasaray 4-1 in the Champions League. The Catalan giants fell behind at the RAMS Park through Aleksey Batrakov in the opening 30 minutes before Joao Cancelo equalised in the 43rd minute.
