Line-ups: Barca-PSG

Barcelona name a strong XI for the Champions League quarter-final second leg visit of Paris Saint-Germain, while Zlatan Ibrahimovic returns for the French side.

Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar all start in what looks to be the Catalans’ usual 4-3-3 formation, despite Coach Luis Enrique suggesting he could change the system tonight.

Marc-Andre Ter Stegen is again in goal, as he has regularly been in Europe, while Dani Alves, Gerard Pique, Javier Mascherano and Jordi Alba make up the back four in front of the German.

Sergio Busquets, Ivan Rakitic and Andres Iniesta form the midfield, Iniesta playing less than a week after he was stretchered off in the first leg after a blow to the lower back.

Alves for Martin Montoya is Barca’s only change from the 3-1 win in Paris, Alves returning from suspension.

Ibrahimovic was also suspended for last week’s game but returns in a front three with Javier Pastore and Edinson Cavani.

There’s still no Thiago Motta in midfield – the former Barca man out injured – but Marco Verratti is back and joins Blaise Matuidi and Yohan Cabaye.

PSG captain Thiago Silva is missing so David Luis starts alongside Marquinhos, and they’re flanked by Gregory van der Wiel and Maxwell, with Salvatore Sirigu in goal.
